Open Source Like A BOSS

on YouTube ↗18m

" summary

Claim: open source does not market itself so authors must actively publicize projects on GitHub and at conferences. Evidence: about one third of people find modules by chance, many discover them via talk/blog. Tools and practices that work: use pre-commit hook for style, respond to pull requests quickly, treat leadership as enabling not commanding, answer “why” to motivate contributors. Failure mode: ignored PRs and poor communication cause contributors to rage quit; distributed GitHub workflows demand peer management.
