The Dramatic Consequences of the Open Source Revolution (...)
summary
Claim: open source dependence has surged to 78% of companies citing quality or features as the reason, while critical projects suffer low staffing — a study finds 64% of popular repos have a truck factor of 1–2. Examples: Heartbleed/OpenSSL illustrates single-point failure. Attempts: creating a Scala Center, splitting scala-library into a tiny scala-core plus a community-defined platform, providing CI, release automation, governance and contributor hackathons; paid tips prove unreliable.
