A lovely read, beautifully written, reminding us that “the European Web… conquered the world because it was offered as a common good instead of seeking short-term profits.” 🙂
Redefining ‘success’ as contributing to the commons (copyleft) as opposed to privatising:
“Some are proud because they made a lot of money while cutting down a forest. Others are proud because they are planting trees that will produce the oxygen breathed by their grandchildren. What if success was not privatizing resources but instead contributing to the commons, to make it each day better, richer, stronger?

“The choice is ours. We simply need to choose whom we admire. Whom we want to recognize as successful. Whom we aspire to be when we grow up. We need to sing the praises of our true heroes: those who contribute to our commons.”
🙏🏻 so much, for writing this, for sharing it 😁

I probably would have spent more time, trying to fix what he's missing, if I'd see the potential of the time spent leading to anything.
But I feel like he doesn't want it to be implemented anyways?
Or is it just that my proposals are that bad, that leaving them open to be updated is pointless, anyways?

Yes, I had introduced a loop over all ingredients to get an additional information that I had expected to be available in the client already, but had to find out its not.

I pretty much just dug into this code base just as far as needed, but I've no full understanding of the project.
So, maybe there would be a more efficient way to get this information? Or solve the overal problem I had?
I don't know.

Not sure where exactly the codestyle is bothering him, or what style rules he wants contributors to follow 🤷

I e.g. tried to do the brackets the same style. In the html I'm not exactly sure from what the style should be 🤔

I also don't know how I changed the public API (because he said I didn't update the OpenAPI json): I thought I had just changed the internal PHP variables buildUp, what the javascript has available later? 🧐

In this episode of Open Web, host Anne chats with Juliette, the sole maintainer of PHP_CodeSniffer. They dive into the challenges of maintaining crucial open-source projects, funding issues, and AI's impact on software development.

“Volunteering at EuroPython made me realize that people can make you go far. Doing it all alone is possible but doing it as a team makes a big difference. "

“I’ve built lasting friendships, met people I had only known from online talks and tutorials, and had the chance to become a familiar face in the community myself. Every EuroPython, and every local conference, strengthens those connections and leaves you with renewed energy and inspiration to keep contributing.”
