Joshua Poddoku @joshuapoddoku.com · 29/09/2026I’d like to connect with grant programs, investors or VCs on how they evaluate applications based on their AI policy. Great questions to start with, if you haven’t asked them yet, what LLMs did you use, for what intent, what were the prompts, and how did that help you articulate. 000
Joshua Poddoku @joshuapoddoku.com · 28/09/2026Ever heard of "technological solutionism"? It’s the fallacy that every complex human problem has a technical fix. When we prioritize the "how" of the technology over the "why" of the user's pain, we stop solving real problems and start building toys. We need solutions that serve the community. 000

Joshua Poddoku @joshuapoddoku.com · 16/09/2026Every thread about AI and open source ends in blame. AI-generated PRs nobody reads. AI slop shipped as code. Maintainers get the burnout either way.

Joshua Poddoku @joshuapoddoku.com · 08/09/20261/8 Commercialization of Open Source, with so many new companies shipping vaporware, abuses the true spirit of the OSS community.
