Making this video with @p0nk for the @OpenSourceOrg #StateoftheSource summit 2020 was a lot of fun! Live juggling, transparent video overlay, our students' research on open source sustainability, the whole package! Video: https://t.co/syi3e5qHIy Slides: https://t.co/WXYRT4EpRz

If you've ever wondered why it takes a long time to make those "no-brainer" fixes in R, the package ecosystem is the answer. https://t.co/B9NkeIpaQW #rstats

Use package managers and dependency declarations? We need your help!! https://t.co/HwBp9GpYYH

This https://t.co/uKoP8C4BcR tip comes from @elijahmanor.

Make sure you've got the latest version of @npmjs packages using the Version Lense plugin. Super handy.

Maybe the real dependency management solution was the friends we made along the way.

Keeping billions of lines of code in @Google's monolithic repository is challenging, but it comes with some big wins. Find out what they are @icse2018 https://t.co/I6y9U4v8CE In collaboration with @googleresearch #DeveloperLiberationFront

How fixing bugs in a code full of dependencies looks like 😁😆

Oh wow - matplotlib, NumPy and pandas, essential scientific infrastructure used by millions, are each maintained by fewer than half a dozen people (from @kellecruz lecture)

if a security process requires pausing development for manual reviews, paying for an external audit, or introducing a third-party tool into your workflow, you’re less likely to follow it. https://t.co/slq2657yvT

The 2018 #Perl Developer #Survey is here!

Have a look, and more importantly, fill it out.

Also, don't forget to share it :)

Even 10 years after it was released the Python community has to specify v3 vs v2 on pretty much everything.

This is an important lesson about compatibility for all other languages and platforms to take in.

[Mathias Buus 🕳🥊 @mafintosh]

People often ask me how I maintain +600 modules (for free usually). I usually reply "because most are small and done". Node 10 deprecates an API used by 141 of them, 176 if you include tests/examples. This is *after* spending time getting a bunch other of my modules updated.

Survey: #rustlang values stability https://t.co/dW1iAuJqaC, but devs don't compromise design for back compatibility https://t.co/2jjPqb8ZJF

Survey results: #Ruby #Rubygems devs less likely than some other ecosystems to let dependencies get out of date. https://t.co/A7ypeDSmxB
