March 2026 was a bad month. Back-to-back supply chain attacks with incident response teams running nonstop, real damage across ecosystems that millions of developers depend on, and legitimate questions about how we secure critical infrastructure. What it didn't have was an excuse to write an obituary for open source. In the wake of the attacks, familiar criticism has been making the rounds. It's a hot take dressed up as a reckoning. The argument goes something like this: open source is…

Release: asgi-gzip 0.3 I ran into trouble deploying a new feature using SSE to a production Datasette instance, and it turned out that instance was using datasette-gzip which uses asgi-gzip which was incorrectly compressing event/text-stream responses. asgi-gzip was extracted from Starlette, and has a GitHub Actions scheduled workflow to check Starlette for updates that need to be ported to the library... but that action had stopped running and hence had missed Starlette's own fix for this…
Meta announced Muse Spark today, their first model release since Llama 4 almost exactly a year ago. It's hosted, not open weights, and the API is currently "a private API preview to select users", but you can try it out today on meta.ai (Facebook or Instagram login required). Meta's self-reported benchmarks show it competitive with Opus 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and GPT 5.4 on selected benchmarks, though notably behind on Terminal-Bench 2.0. Meta themselves say they "continue to invest in areas with…
Socket CEO Feross Aboukhadijeh joined the TBPN podcast today to break down the Axios npm supply chain attack, one of the most significant open source compromises in recent months. TBPN, recently acquired by OpenAI, is a live daily tech show hosted by John Coogan and Jordi Hays. Feross walked through how North Korean state actors socially engineered the lead Axios maintainer over weeks, building a fake company, a fake Slack workspace, and a staged Microsoft Teams call before delivering malware…
A social engineering campaign is actively targeting open source developers through Slack, according to a high-severity advisory posted April 7 to the OpenSSF Siren mailing list. The attacker impersonates a known Linux Foundation community leader to lure victims into a multi-stage attack that ends with malware delivery and potential full system compromise. OpenSSF Siren is a public threat intelligence mailing list run by the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF), a Linux Foundation project.…
I have a feeling that everyone likes using AI tools to try doing someone else’s profession. They’re much less keen when someone else uses it for their profession. — Giles Turnbull, AI and the human voice Tags: ai-ethics, writing, ai
