       Let's talk about single maintainer projects in open sourceI wrote a blog post about how huge open source really is the other day. Now that this is public, there are many pieces I want to discussIf you haven't read it, it's herehttps://anchore.com/blog/open-source-is-bigger-than-you-imagine/There's a perception that single maintainer projects are a bad thing.Here's what the graph of single maintainer projects look like. That graph isn't a mistake.The reality is almost all of open source is single person projects1/

       Trying to claim a single maintainer is a bad thing ignores realityIf we decide it's a problem to fix, there's no way enough developers exist to fill this gap properlyOur conversation needs to be how do we support this single maintainer universeThis is the open source that took over the world. How do we support it?If we invest our resources into trying to change open source, we are wasting resources

       @joshbressers what's amazing to me is not how many oss projects are single maintainer, but how many enterprise systems are single threaded without the people relying on them having any idea about it.
