André Staltz Why is maintenance such a big hurdle in many open source projects? It is often the primary reason for burnouts among maintainers. I recently realized that many open source projects have the opportunity of progressing independently from their original authors if there is the right culture in the community. Not all projects can do this, though. What I’ll describe here mostly applies to small open source libraries, not large libraries neither end-user software. So. A year ago, I stumbled upon this tool for JavaScript projects called patch-package , by David Sheldrick . It allowed me to create small patches to apply on dependencies, that persist throughout npm installations and deletions. I used it to customize small aspects of some of my dependencies to work properly with my software project. It allowed me to “maintain” a third-party library without bothering its origi...
André Staltz My previous article, The Web began dying in 2014, here’s how , raised much more awareness than I thought it would. Many people found it to be an insightful analysis of the Web under the control of tech giants, but the article ended without providing anything positive to hold on to. I actually have hope for the Web. There are legimately viable ways of preserving freedom on the Web while taking the platform forward and keeping it competitive against proprietary alternatives from tech giants. But it can only happen if the Web takes a courageous step towards its next level. If it stays in its current form, the Web has little chance of being relevant while America’s FCC kills Net Neutrality rules , the W3C favors DRM , and tech giants build their Web-less vision of the future. The community of peer-to-peer technologists has brought to the world several revolutionary tech...
André Staltz It is the last day of my employment at Futurice, and my first day as a self-employed open source hacker with a mission to build a new social network project. I joined Futurice in 2013 as a Web and Mobile Developer. At that time, I had less than a hundred Twitter followers and had never heard of reactive programming. Gradually, I started being exposed to RxJava for Android development, and began my journey learning Rx Observables. I learned a lot at Futurice, and had absolutely brilliant peers who inspired and challenged me. As I learned, I started teaching others my findings. I wrote The introduction to reactive programming , then built RxMarbles to help visualize how some RxJS APIs worked. In the subsequent months and years, I built Cycle.js and spoke at many conferences, all the while basing my open source developments on insights gathered at work in Futurice. It ...
