Maintaining an OSS Project (Babel)

on YouTube ↗16m

" summary

A concrete run-through names exact wins and pain points: Guy Fieri ASCII merged into the repo and t-shirt art, the left_pad handle origin story, an npm name dispute that forces adoption of scoped packages, and an issue-migration back from Phabricator to GitHub that uses a battle bot to import 772 issues. Roadmap work, Google/Rails Summer of Code participation, an open collective and 50% sponsored maintainer time show what was built and how it scales.
