I think it was pretty nice of him to have it break immediately, rather than wait two months before activating.

probably the funniest thing about the js package breaking things is that at no point is any js developer going to take a moment to think about "wow, if one dude 57 dependencies down the chain can commit 'crash_app()' and it breaks thousands of builds everywhere, maybe we should be slightly concerned about an entire language built on the concept of implementing basic functions as open-source micro modules and the possibility of modules that are silently evil instead of just the obvious showstoppers" i imagine that state actors love this ecosystem because all you really have to do is find one or two packages you can poke stuff into and you're tapped into millions of dumb apps that said github locking the guy out of his own account is a pretty hearty lol

it would be kind of maddening to be struggling with homelessness while knowing that many large companies rely on your software for day-to-day operations and/or your poo poo got stolen by some vc who flipped it into a profitable thing.

I think repeatedly reminding industry that they should pay for open source support by crashing their poo poo constantly is far more likely to result in actual corporate dollars being funneled to maintainers than quietly just declining to participate in the system.

maybe set up and advertise a business entity that companies can pay for work done, regardless how it is licensed? something that this guy likely knew how to do as a startup founder oh wait, that's something you'd do if you actually want to rise out of your predicament, not drag others into it

FWIW i split the difference with stuff where the source is technically available for "portfolio"/showing off purposes but it's all istp stuff that's not relevant to commercial interests, while also using a poison pill license on top of that just in case so the work is technically "exposed" (since i like showing it off anyway) but it's not given away

also quick ad for sourcehut which fits this model really well because: - the issue tracker is your personal TODO list, not someone else's way to get free work. user reports can only be sent via mailing lists - mailing lists are an optional feature and you can just have repos that effectively don't accept bug reports
