AI agents do not always choose the best software. They choose the path they can complete with the least effort. That gives open source an edge, but only if projects are easy to install, inspect, modify, and verify. New post: dri.es/friction-abstraction-…

Drupal 12 will use Argon2id for password hashing by default. Existing passwords migrate automatically on next login. Most site owners never think about password hashing, so getting the defaults right matters most. 🛡️🎯💪 dri.es/drupal-12-switches-to…

Open source software is free to download. But the infrastructure behind it is not. Most Open Source projects are funded through a fragile mix of donations and goodwill. Open Source infrastructure deserves a business model! dri.es/open-source-infrastru…

Four years ago, I created a Web3 webpage and walked away. The page is still online today, but most of the services I used to run it are gone.

Europe needs digital sovereignty, and Open Source is the most direct path to it. But it requires more contribution-based procurement. More public money must flow upstream to Open Source maintainers, not just to integrators and resellers.

This morning I made a small change to my site: I made every page available as Markdown for AI agents and crawlers. I expected maybe a trickle. Within an hour, I was seeing hundreds of requests from ClaudeBot, GPTBot, and OpenAI’s SearchBot. 😲 dri.es/the-third-audience-is…

Tailwind Labs laid off 75% of its engineering team. AI isn’t killing open source though. It’s stress-testing business models built on "describable things". I wrote more about what this means for developer tools and where durable value lives: dri.es/ai-is-a-business-mode…
