Maintainers spend countless hours keeping the open source projects we all rely on secure. Too often, that work is unpaid. Socket is proud to join @openjsf.org's new Security Stewardship Program to help fund the researchers and maintainers protecting Node.js. socket.dev/blog/openjs-...

With help from the amazing @mirandaheath.website, the 2026 State of Devs survey results are now available! 2026.stateofdevs.com/en-US/ This already took a ton of work, and I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of what the dataset could teach us.

It is great news, it's been going on for a number of years, but I have also noticed many people don't seem to know about it. Here's a good resource:

Thank you for thinking of me! :) We're researching these issues at the @stewardshiplab.org and I'd be very happy to work with registry maintainers on this. IMO, it would be good to have a community where registry maintainers can come together and learn from each other on these issues.

Hard breaks at column 80 have been a thing for decades. For projects that use mailing lists for contributions, like the Linux kernel, or everything on Sourcehut, most people still hard-wrap text.
