Finding 2.0 with Marc Gibbons
summary
Claims that nearly 90% of PyPI packages using semantic versioning sit below 2.0 come with data: a CSV of latest versions filtered by a semantic-version regex finds almost 90% below 2.0; examples note Django took 12 years to hit 2.0. The talk details concrete methods — CSV analysis, labels like help wanted, project planning and issue triage — and personal outcomes: 20 chemo sessions, 15 radiation rounds, a stem cell transplant, and a community fundraiser that raised over $40,000 (over $120,000 total later).
