One of the key goals of PostGraphile V5 was to increase scalability by offloading work from the database to the JS layer; we are thrilled to hear that this goal is already having a significant positive impact!

Thanks Chandler, it’s such a relief to have pressed the big Release button! We’re very much looking forward to seeing what people can do with it

Big news, PostGraphile V5 is out today! It has a whole new execution engine behind it (did you hear me ever say “Grafast”?) which brings a whole new level of productivity and performance gains. I’m so excited for it to be out in the world!

It is certainly an interesting time to be an open source project relying on sponsorship!

when you said humanity would be subjugated by an artificial intelligence designed to harvest our energy i sort of thought it was gonna be more of a the matrix type situation, not "reviewing code with imaginary css in it" or "reading emails that nobody wrote"

Every time I try to explain OSS to folks they are like "oh you created something that is widely used and you're not wealthy, you're a fool" and honestly, at this point I have nothing to say back 😂

Interesting colour choices you've made 🤩

Hyderabad keeps delivering. Our meetup, in collaboration with GraphQL Hyderabad, brought together developers for sessions on database tech, @graphql.org, and AI-powered app development.

Open Source Endowment — World's First Endowment Fund for OSS The Open Source Endowment provides truly sustainable funding for critical open source software through a community-driven endowment model.

We heard the Bluesky community cares about Open Source, so we showed up 👋

Our endowment dedicated to supporting Open Source maintainers is already at $729k, and we're developing a model for distributing our first funding round.

Have ideas on how to identify critical OSS projects? We're listening.

Just grabbed my free ticket, see you there in May? It'll be my first time ever in the US 👀

Deep Blue We coined a new term on the Oxide and Friends podcast last month (primary credit to Adam Leventhal) covering the sense of psychological ennui leading into existential dread that many …

I'm excited about the future that AI holds, but even I've had the odd moment of disquiet about what it means for being a coder.

"Deep Blue" is a delightful term for it! 🤷

It helps us to keep working purely on our open source projects, rather than working on other paid options to fund our time

OSS maintainers, if a company sent you a chunk of cash, what would you spend it on? @patak.cat spent it on infra helping him continue his Open Source adventures. Would you buy tools you need? Or use it to take care of your physical/mental health? Tell us, so we can make the best case to companies✨️

as @mirandaheath.website said "it is time to recognize the humans behind open source". every maintainer burnouts eventually. everyone need to understand, fast, that the current state is unsustainable. but change will only come from between our lines. we'll need to change the game ourselves.

"Why would someone read words I didn't bother to write?" This question should haunt anyone publishing with AI. Your product (code, words, media) isn't respectable without curation

Speech therapy kids unite! I gave my first keynote last year and all those old lazy ways of speaking came right back while rehearsing and script writing... but in the end it went well (I worded it all very carefully to avoid my worst trigger phrases 🤣)

This is so cool!

I think this view is becoming more popular with the rise of LLM written articles. A lot of "new" articles I see are starting to sound the same with the same patterns of writing.

Perhaps it's time to dust off my own outdated blog...?

Twice a year I get contacted by someone who believes they've solved open source funding. It's usually a new app or licensing scheme. Both miss the point. Most companies see sponsoring open source as "charity" or an unnecessary expense, and until that changes, no solution will make a difference.

It's the last 24 hours, get your talk proposal in!

One of the bigger challenges I have had promoting @solidjs.com is assuming developers have a general idea of how their tools work. I'd show off fine-grained rendering, and be met with "Isn't that how React works?" I'd find myself educating them more about their existing tools.

I always like to see a weird spreadsheet system!

You can also give back and help sustain the projects you use by creating thoughtful issues (read antfu.me/posts/why-reproductions-are-required by @antfu.me), and helping where you can.

Before talking with your employer, get a good pitch in order. @opensourcepledge.com is a great way to approach it.
