A great book on the process of developing open source projects, how contributors manage their open source projects, and the current transition from funding for projects to funding for individual creators. It presents a compeling argument on the similarity between content creators and open source programmers, arguing that the main force driving open source development is the scarcity of contributors' attention. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Open source software has undergone significant shift over the past 20 years. Today, often unseen solo operators maintain code used by millions. In Working in Public, Nadia Eghbal takes an inside look at modern open software development and its evolution over the last two decades--and its ramifications for an internet reorienting itself around individual creators. She examines GitHub as a platform; the structures, roles, incentives, and relationships of open source projects; and their heretofore unexplored maintenance, via the work that software requires its creators and the costs of production that must be maintained. Open source offers us a model through which to understand the challenges faced by online creators on all platforms."--Publisher description. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Most books on the subject were written in the 90s or early 2000s when open source (and the books themselves) were obnoxious and totalitarian. In contrast today open source is not itself the point, and fairness and kindness are core values.
This book focuses more on the last 10 years since the rise of Github as de facto platform for open source. But the periods (then and now) are contrasted well in the book. ( )
