Abby Cabunoc Mayes @abbycabs.dev · 05/05/2026Two big arrivals this May 💜🐣 github.blog/open-source/... #MaintainerMonth 2110
Abby Cabunoc Mayes @abbycabs.dev · 02/03/2026“AI is destroying my humanity.” @mitchellh.com (HashiCorp; Ghostty, Vouch). From a conversation @helen.blog and I had with him. Not an anti-AI take. A maintainer capacity take. Creation got cheaper. Review didn’t. Maintainers: what’s helped you keep mentoring sustainable? 1183

Abby Cabunoc Mayes @abbycabs.dev · 04/12/2025She wrote a patent about TIME TRAVEL but still keeps developers grounded in reality 🕰️ @angiejones.tech on balancing visionary thinking w/ practical AI: "Everyone wants to be a visionary, but developers are exhausted by the hype." gh.io/podcast 020
Abby Cabunoc Mayes @abbycabs.dev · 24/09/2025AI is full of opportunity — but “AI slop” is real for open source maintainers. In our chat with @vertedin.de (Electron), I loved this: use these moments to teach contributors — but never at the cost of maintainers’ time or energy. Open source is as much about people as code. 🎧 gh.io/podcast 021
Abby Cabunoc Mayes @abbycabs.dev · 13/08/2025MCP? OMG! 🤯 Episode 1 of the GitHub Podcast is here, and we’re talking Model Context Protocol — the open standard that can help keep AI tools from hallucinating (in my use case!) and make them genuinely useful for developers. 🎧 Listen now: gh.io/podcast 030
Abby Cabunoc Mayes @abbycabs.dev · 29/07/2025🎧 Episode 0 of the GitHub Podcast is live! Three open source nerds, one mic, and wild stories (like hackathons at 30,000 feet). Co-hosting with @cassidoo.co, @itsthatladydev.bsky.social, and @alacolombiadev.bsky.social — subscribe and join us for the ride. ➡️ gh.io/podcast 0181
