Are open-source contributions drying up because new developers aren’t connecting with the community? The rise of consumer-first coders who don’t see the roots of their tools in open source could be our biggest challenge in 2025. They skip the gratitude phase—straight to proprietary SaaS.

2025 Open Source Predictions

Inspired by Ben Cotton’s 2025 Open Source Predictions, I decided to do a little predicting of my own. My mind has been on AI and how I can leverage it so that has colored a lot of my predictions. I do not mean to imply that AI is the most important thing that will happen in 2025.

Friends, today is the day before Thanksgiving here in the US. Friday is also a holiday for many people here so that we have the day off to go buy stuff that looks like it is on sale but really isn't.

What does that mean to you? It means that it is time. Time to push that code to production. Push it like it's never been pushed before. Use all the git flags.

Testing is for people who are not confident in their abilities, and we don't have time for that sort of negativity around here.

Today is your day.

Tomorrow, and beyond? That is ops problem.

Now I want to try this with PHP

Sandboxing Python with Win32 App Isolation

Sandboxing Python can be very useful for developers but has been challenging due to the flexibility of CPython implementation. It is particularly useful in many scenarios to have sandboxed Python. For example, on any webs

I keep thinking I'll get the kids finally out of my house and onto their own lives and then maybe I'll have more time and less housework. However the world is not cooperating.

Also now that I have freetime*

* actual amounts still abysmal but actually existing

I find I my brain fried after work and I just want to play video games. Where is all my motivation I wonder.

@pollita I saw it. Answered a bit. I've written a some of these hooks before. Implementation isn't really the hard part here. It is design and how much belongs in PHP core versus a win32 api extension. And if that extension should be bundled or pecl or somewhere else. How much does PHP want to commit to something like this for support/moving forward?

@grmpyprogrammer my favorite on their fixes list was "maybe we should have a changelog users can subscribe to" seriously clowntown

Reading the crowdstrike PIR and eyerolling at the "how do we prevent this" list... since everything on there should have already been in place!

@elazar @afilina, I'm pretty sure the issue isn't the stream wrapper itself, but overriding the file stream wrapper. My flakey memory says overriding existing built-in streams wasn't a thing in 4.x

Did you try registering the wrapper with a prefix and using the prefix in the fopen call instead of trying to override the built-in file stream?
