Days after Redis announced more restrictive licensing terms, Open Source received another blow: a backdoor attack affecting various Linux distributions. This goes to show that much of the code we depend on is in the hands of overworked, underpaid devs. Oh... and some of these guys don’t have the best intentions.
So, when you really think about it, one of the fastest-growing industries on the globe is heavily relying on the goodwill of random individuals and their commitment to maintain projects, often without compensation. Crazy, right?!
In Brief
Bun 1.1 was released, and we finally get Windows support;
Honeypot released their Node Documentary. Open Source is not easy even when companies and funding come into play;
Go turns 12. This is a good time for a 10 minute crash course;
After JSR, we are getting another package registry from the creator of NPM;
Angular merges with Wiz and I am actually excited to use Angular in a new project these days.
