The AI Wildfire Is Coming. It's Going to be Very Painful and Incredibly Healthy.
AI won’t crash—it will burn. Like every tech cycle, the fire will clear the brush, redistribute talent, and leave infrastructure to power what comes next. The question is: what kind of plant are you?

!!! `jim release` can now:
1. build itself as a .gem,
2. pack itself into a single-file script,
3. publish both of these to GitHub Releases
Try out the packed `jim.rb` file. It should be completely self-contained:

You know… Ruby Central’s takeover of rubygems GitHub org ONLY worked because it could be executed within seconds, and by doing so, prevent the possibility of revert.
If the ownership change was a PR it would never have been approved.
If RC is “right”, why did they need the atomic switch?

Open Infrastructure is Not Free: PyPI, the Python Software Foundation, and Sustainability
In September, the Python Software Foundation (PSF) co-signed the Open Infrastructure is Not Free: A Joint Statement on Sustainable Stewardship Letter published by the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) as a steward of the Python Package Index (PyPI). As a follow up, I would like to share a bit more about the concerns expressed in this letter as they relate to our community and the PSF.

@sethmlarson.dev and I went through months of intense, complex work to climb a steep and slippery learning curve, only to be stopped short at the very end by a hard ethical line we couldn't cross—it was gut-wrenching.
I'm proud of what we did and I'm proud of what we didn't do.
I'm proud of what we did and I'm proud of what we didn't do.
TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-...
