Your #opensource project’s most valuable contributors might never touch code.
I’ve maintained All Contributors Bot for 2 months w/o a line of code—triaging issues, fixing CI, organizing work.
That work keeps projects alive.
What non-code contributions have you made? #science #openscience

“It’s fun to do something that’s not profitable—not something that has to be economical to be justified, but just because it’s fun to see people play it.”

Tomorrow at 5pm UTC Python: The Documentary produced by @cultrepo.bsky.social premieres on YouTube! 🎬🐍

From a side project in Amsterdam to a language shaping the world— discover the story of #Python. Featuring Guido van Rossum & many more!

Python: The Documentary | An origin story
This is the story of the world's most beloved programming language: Python. What began as a side project in Amsterdam during the 1990s became the software powering artificial intelligence, data science and some of the world’s biggest companies. But Python's future wasn't certain; at one point it almost disappeared. This 90-minute documentary features Guido van Rossum, Travis Oliphant, Barry Warsaw, and many more, and they tell the story of Python’s rise, its community-driven evolution, the conflicts that almost tore it apart, and the language’s impact on... well… everything. Thanks to our sponsors for making this documentary possible: Anaconda: https://www.anaconda.com/ @AnacondaInc.
