AI is changing how code gets written, but it shouldn’t change the responsibility that comes with contributing Open Source code. https://dri.es/never-submit-code-you-do-not-understand

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! https://dri.es/open-source-infrastructure-deserves-a-business-model

Open Source infrastructure deserves a business model

Open Source infrastructure is essential, invisible, and chronically underfunded. A more sustainable approach may be to connect the cost of running that infrastructure to the organizations that rely on it most.

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.

Funding Open Source for Digital Sovereignty

Open Source alone won't deliver digital sovereignty. Europe must fix procurement and fund those who actually build it.

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. 😲 https://dri.es/the-third-audience-is-ai

The third audience is AI

I made my website easier for AI agents and crawlers to read, and within an hour it was getting hundreds of requests.

I **really** like this post from @dries - it explains 2 AI implementation approaches that I’ve been thinking about lately but haven’t found the right words for. Dries calls them “outside in” and “inside out”.

My default thinking is often “outside in” - probably because I’m a bit of a control freak for some (many?) things.

If you build AI solutions - this post is well worth your time.
