Then I have bad news for you about OSS software. It's not dead yet, but I fear it will be. The costs of developing are going up (slop bug bounty reports), the cost of infra are going up (LLM "learner" agents slam open projects with traffic), and real developers aren't being trained, It's a matter of time, and we probably can't even undo it at this point.

curl, which is one of the most popular CLI/API tools for network requests and data transfer on Linux/Unix, is to discontinue its HackerOne bug bounty program due to "too strong incentives to find and make up 'problems' in bad faith that cause overload and abuse".

The authors simply cannot keep up with LLM-generated fake security reports created to collect money using bots. So, it now shuts down at the end of January 2026. This is why we can't have good things

Dear services that refuse email addresses that have the name of the service in the address:

We domain owners do that because we do not trust you not to sell that address to others or otherwise use it inappropriately. Your algorithmic refusal of that address is sketchy af.

I have just released Xdebug 3.5.0!

In the next few weeks I will create some content (text, and perhaps video) highlighting some new features in more detail.

Please share it with the world!
