A few weeks ago, @joshbressers managed to hook me up to his mic. And then couldn't manage to stop me.

He still managed to get an amazing podcast episode about what it is to be a hobbyist maintainer, why it matters to talk about it and how failing to understand this is why nearly all policies around FOSS fail to move the needle.

You can listen to it and then come tell me what you think

Hobbyist Maintainers with Thomas DePierre

Thomas DePierre joins Open Source Security to discuss the central idea from his blog post, “You are all on the hobbyist maintainers turf now,” exploring the massive disconnect between the corporate world that consumes open source and the hobbyist community that actually produces it. The conversation reveals this isn’t a new problem, but a long-standing reality whose consequences for security, stability, and the future of software we are only now beginning to truly confront.
