We analyzed the 30 most-applied-to U.S. tech companies of all time on AngelList and found that over half host open-source projects.
How open source projects need to adapt to the AI coding era | We Love Open Source • All Things Open
A new Carnegie Mellon study shows AI coding tools boost velocity by 281% — then leave codebases harder to work with. Here's what open source communities need to do before the sugar rush wears off.
Open sourcing our server
We take the final step in our open source journey. Our clients had always been open source. Today, we are also releasing the source code for our servers.
The Few, the Tired, the Open Source Coders
The open source movement runs on the heroic efforts of not enough people doing too much work. They need help.
The Top 5 Agent-Engineered Open Source Projects
The five open source projects that best show what agent-engineered software can become.
Give Away Your Code, But Never Your Time — William Gross
As software developers, I think we can agree that open-source1 code has transformed the world. Its public nature tears down the walls that prevent some pieces of software from becoming the best they can be. The problem is that too many valuable projects stagnate, with burned-out leaders:
Open source and the software supply chain
Managing something as esoteric as resources for building software with a variety of contributions made by the open source community is more amorphic.
Study finds AI tools made open source software developers 19 percent slower
Coders spent more time prompting and reviewing AI generations than they saved on coding.
Finding Users for Your Project
Help your open source project grow by getting it in the hands of happy users.

There is this tension in dev tooling right now: Lots of people want to self-host, and not depend on a service. Lots of people also want the vibes of open source - being part of an open development community, having the code, etc.But builders still need to make a living...— Aaron Boodman (@aboodman) January 23, 2024
vit — open source is social
developers and AI agents share software capabilities through a social network — discover what others have built, adapt it to your codebase, build reputation by vouching for what works.

It’s actually open source software that's eating the world
At Lightspeed we’ve been investing aggressively in open source software (OSS) businesses for the past 10 years. Recently, we’ve seen a significant increase in entrepreneurs pitching open source startups, and we’ve also seen greater competition for these deals. We pulled together some numbers in an attempt to measure the acceleration in interest in and funding for OSS businesses in the last few years. The results were staggering even to us.
Impressions from visiting OpenAI, Anthropic, & Cursor
A peek into where software engineering is headed from inside the sector’s leading AI labs. Agents running in the cloud are a major trend, while coding harnesses are spreading beyond the craft
