Went to Denver for the OSS Summit with @mason. Three big takeaways: - OSS remains the best form of distribution for enduring dev tools. OSS is non-negotiable deep in the stack. - Everyone is excited about the open source infra enabling AI. The tech is so deep and specialized that the industry has converged around highly optimized public infra for serving, auto-scaling and training. Startups can build atop without worrying about building the vertical stack from scratch. - OSS is aging out and it's existential. Proportion of maintainers under 25 is down 50% over the past 5-years, the industry knows they need to engage the next generation. This is something we're laser-focused on at Merit, with contributor payments and project monetization. More on this coming very soon
