Lazy B0y

@bagder so - just the first example coming to my mind - bootstrap is not opensource, isn’t used by thousands, and wasn’t released by twitter when he was in charge there?

Not going to praise that guy too much as i don’t trust him too far and there are surely many better people to give a fosdem keynote - but saying he has nothing to do with opensource seems odd.

@Dame_ @bagder don’t know his personal role exactly but at least he allowed his company engineers to publish some of their code.
Possible that he did that only to appease developers who love making their code public but there are much worse corporate opensource citizens… Bezos, Gates, Ellison… to be continued…
Not to speak of thousands of managers who would not even allow a developer to spend an hour to write a qualified bug report for an opensource library they use in their core systems.

@bagder and reading further i personally find „The session will also introduce Block's new open source AI agentic framework.“ more of a questionable thing as it tries to make us believe a marketing buzzword is an actual technical term that developers should care about. I see marketing getting to define and redefine technical terms quite problematic
