Friendgineers: You need to remember who you're really talking to when you write code. It's NOT the compiler and it's not the reviewer, although they need to understand. It's the maintainer. Write for the maintainer. You'll thank yourself later
friendgineers.rosenshein.orgWho Are You Writing To Anyway?An author should always keep his audience in mind. The trick is to know your audience. Even when there are 2 or more different audiences.
Friendgineers: We all think we're writing new code, but the reality is, in almost all cases, we're modifying existing code. How do things change if you think of how you're modifying existing code EVERY time you write any code?
friendgineers.rosenshein.orgNew Code Vs. More CodeJust like the code we write is going to be read far more often than we write it, the amount of code we change or extent is MUCH higher than the amount of code we write from scratch. So don't forget, when writing code, you, or someone you know, is going to have to extend it. So be prepared.

Ich liebe #linux ja bekanntlich.
Es kam eine neue Treiberversionen von #amd raus irgendwann. Also mal updaten, da die Pakete mit dem aktuellen Kernel nicht kompilieren.
Wie? Voll easy, einfach in den .source Dateien die Versionsnummer durch ein "latest" ersetzt und ein normales "apt update && apt upgrade" durchgeführt...
Neu gestartet und schon hatte ich den neuen Kernel mit Grafik... Danke Linux und danke #maintainer

In der ARD Audiothek gibt es seit ein paar Tagen einen #Podcast über #OpenSource #Maintainer und deren Probleme:
In dem Zusammenhang fiel mir auch der Vortrag "Bezahlt sie doch einfach!!? - eure Freie Software" von der #FrOSCon wieder ein:

Als Pfarrer fühl ich mich ja auch wie son #OpenSource #Maintainer, der keine Zeit hat #PRs zu mergen, weil er ständig mit #DevOps beschäftigt ist.
Ein organisatorisches #Refactoring steht an. Und da das nicht ohne die Inhalte geht, müssen wir da eben auch* ran.
*Zuerst, aber wir müssen selbst coden. Die Wissenschaft verteilt keine Thesen mehr.
I love when you open an issue on #github and the #maintainer closes it with a smartass remark making it clear they didn't even read what you wrote.
Don't be that asshole. If you don't want issue contributions, disable issues. (Also: consider keeping your readme updated. If your standard response to the instructions not working is to point someone at a closed years old issue with hundreds of comments, maybe you should update your #documentation - especially when the issue you're closing passive-aggressively is requesting that be done, because I had already done the fucking research)
What a waste of time!

The New Stack · Vim After Bram: A Core Maintainer on How They’ve Kept It GoingWhat happens when the chief maintainer of an open source project dies. Maintaining VIM turned out to be a full time job, though the community has stepped in to help.
I like to be more hobbyist kernel developer and maintainer than professional kernel developer and maintainer :-)
I made the right call for me of not going to a Linux company after my industry sabbatical.

The #Geany developers are looking for a new maintainer for the Windows builds of Geany.
The Windows builds of Geany were created previously on a Windows 7 VM which is not supported any longer.
We are looking for a new maintainer who likes to take care of the Windows builds, knows MSYS2 and has access to a Windows system with a recent version to be able to build and test Geany on Windows.
For more details and comments, see https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/4189.

At some point, somebody mentionned that many libraries/packages used by (linux) distros are not maintained and would need somebody to take care of. I'm looking to dedicate time on this.
Do you know one such library?
