@geobabbler Which, from their perspective: totally valid, I think? I feel like the tension between the VC requirement for maximum monetization and the founders vibing and using OSS as a "dev friendly" signal to drive adoption leads to these cycles of "open, fresh start-up" > "closed, maturing enterprise".

It's the part where OSS is just a temporary phase, a "moment", that remains worrying, and seems to recur in a lot of institutions.

@wtfrank To the extent that civil society does get involved, in my experience, it is again usually driven by "vibes" and the interests of one or more fairly unique decision makers in government.

That is, the investments are not widely seen as a good idea, and as such only happen when unique visionaries step up to the plate and make the case.

People have to burn political capital to do the right thing, and that's not a recipe for longevity of effort.

Yes, this is a Mapbox subtweet, but frankly it happens over and over.

For those devs lucky enough to land jobs doing OSS work, the vibes-of-the-owners thing seems pretty key. Yes, this is also a "me" sub-tweet.

Support for open source development as an activity valuable in and of itself seems still to be highly indexed to "good vibes" on the part of a small population of tech leaders.

As a result you see things like a freshly minted startup, with fresh VC dollars in the bank, hire a bunch of contributors, incubate some projects of their own, then slowly withdraw from the field over the following years, as money gets tighter.

A few luck devs may flee to the next pond, and the process repeats.

What is the canonical repo for Tippecanoe these days? Mapbox? Felt? I had a vague rememberance of a move somewhere neutral, but perhaps I imagined it? https://github.com/felt/tippecanoe
