@bcantrill Of course, *many* innovations are mostly associated with a single inventor and the reality is almost invariably a great deal more complicated.

Really quite delighted with the results of replacing node microservices with chunkier Rust services + the odd lambda. Writing them has been pleasant; the quality of the code written has been high; the results have been reliable.

As it turns out, the answer to my question can be found on page 34 in the oral history that Ornstein did with the Computer History Museum: https://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/access/text/2016/08/102738019-05-01-acc.pdf

@brain_blasted_ I started using Linux in 1994 on a university shell server.

The first version I installed pictured below (not my pictures, random ones): Infomagic’s packaging of Slackware 2.3.

IIRC the stats were:
- Kernel: 1.2.8
- Binary format: a.out (pre-ELF)
- libc: libc5 (pre-glibc)

So, not to pick on John, but this take is actually wrong and OP is right. Because something catastrophic *did* happen to Gen X and the Xennial's music: the Telecommunication Act of 1996.

@Maryxus ("Maryxus Maddly") replied to a tweet by @gaywonk:

@gaywonk Are you familiar with System Justification theory?

The plea towards the center seems very relevant to it, because whatever else they may be, opinions far to the left or right are destabilizing to the existing system. Centrism seeks to obstruct both, but only ever aids the right.

just to highlight how significant this is... KDL has a set of "reserved" string types that you can apply to strings with the _intention_ of people interpreting them as string representations of those types.

Dani... implemented all of them: https://github.com/kdl-org/kdl/blob/main/SPEC.md#reserved-type-annotations-for-strings

It's interesting how a lot of answers focus on becoming a maintainer through code contributions. It's crucial yes, but for me it's more important to find people that share your vision of the project. Maintaining is a team effort

Every open source project is looking for more maintainers but if someone asks them what’s the path/criteria to become a maintainer, they don’t have an answer 🤷‍♀️
