The Register wrote a story about a single maintainer open source project, I think it's shameful and upsetting. So I wrote a blog post about it
An absolutely ridiculous amount of open source is one person projects. I have the data to prove it
The Register recently published a story titled Putin on the code: DoD reportedly relies on utility written by Russian dev. They should be ashamed of this story. This poor open source developer is getting beat up now to score some internet points. It’s very upsetting. But anyway, let’s look at some receipts. If you’re not real smrt, it seems like pointing out an open source project is written by one person in a country you don’t like is a bad thing. It could be. But it also could be the software running THE WHOLE F*CKING PLANET is written by one person. In a country. But we have no idea which country. It’s not the same person mind you, but it’s one person.

“slopsquatting, a new term for a surprisingly effective type of software supply chain attack that emerges when LLMs “hallucinate” package names that don’t actually exist. If you’ve ever seen an AI recommend a package and thought, “Wait, is that real?”—you’ve already encountered the foundation of the problem.
And now attackers are catching on.”
