An important topic for anyone who benefits from the web platform! piped.video/OzypUma4NW4

The strange thing is that if you look by commits instead of by committers, there is no such inflection, just a slow but steady increase in commits. Hopefully this represents new people being ramped up and not yet as productive as the long-time contributors. Maybe it's engineering capacity available to surge when needed by the business, but not needed full-time today? chrome-commit-tracker.arthur…

Looking at a graph of the number of unique Apple accounts contributing to WebKit each quarter, it seems there was an inflection point sometime in 2022. Great to see an increase in investment! What do we, as a web industry, need to do to see this continue? chrome-commit-tracker.arthur…

The graph of Google / Apple commits to WebKit tell this story pretty well: chrome-commit-tracker.arthur…

Successful open source projects are full of win-win situations. At BlinkOn this week there were lots of win-win situations on display for the Chromium project, starting with the keynote which was (for the first time ever) co-hosted by Google and Microsoft: piped.video/cSRAz9Itw84?si=1SgY… 🥰 Any project where contributors feel the cost/benefit trade-off is out of balance is unlikely to be stable for long. IMHO it's better to just acknowledge that fact openly and discuss how it could lead to forking and license changes that nobody really wants, than to wait until it boils over into anger and (apparently in the case of WordPress) a messy PR and legal battle. The deal we all sign up for with open source is that the code can have no business value or leverage and you can't change your mind about that later. But there can be immense business value in the engineering capacity built up to maintain and evolve the code. Rational actors on all sides should expect open source engineering capacity to disappear or move elsewhere as needed to restore balance to the cost/benefit trade-offs of investing in the project.

Yeah and even worse if your GPS has fits of unreliability that Tesla can't seem to fix! 😂 I don't have a video while on FSD, but when this happens driving down a highway at 120kph, it give an alert and quickly starts slowing down.

Awesome! But what happened recently to CLS on web.dev? @Paul_Kinlan?

Separately now I'm trying to cross-reference hundreds of Amazon credit card charges to my account to make sure none are fraudulent. Apparently it takes Amazon up to a month or more to convert my order data into a CSV file! amazon.com/hz/privacy-centra… WTF @amazon, both of these experiences today are confidence-destroying!

I figured I'd leave a bad review to correct the record and move on to a more reputable brand. But leaving reviews were blocked! I guess scam companies have figured out how to game the Amazon review system! [4/4]

My daughter used her hard-earned allowance money to buy this highly-rated vacuum cleaner from "Greenote Home". [2/4]
