@gryphonmyers@mastodon.social We're probably going to see FOSS split up into a neverslop and a techbro camp. I think it's inevitable at this point. But as sad as this may be, I think it's for the better in the end. Because parting ways with those who don't care about their work and the people around them will make it possible to build resilient communities in which folks can collaborate on a much higher standard than before.

@lu@sunny.garden Which makes me sad, because this means most of my favorite software is probably going to go away… I mean, how are we even going to get a C++ compiler, let alone the cool-kid languages like Go/Rust/Java/JS/etc, without the funding they've had thus far? Because the funding they've had thus far came largely from corporate sponsorship. @gryphonmyers@mastodon.social
