How software development’s speed obsession enabled TeamPCP’s chaos crusade
The threat group’s remarkable success targeting open-source software was inevitable and fueled by the industry’s decision to prioritize code shipping over security.

Europe’s Digital Future
The EU Tech Sovereignty Package is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reclaim control over our digital foundations.
For too long, public sector procurement has defaulted to proprietary lock-in, creating a weak sovereignty posture that hinders European resilience.

As far as I can tell mainstream open source, github-native culture is now completely horrible, co-opted by Microsoft, and destroyed by Anthropic, Google and OpenAI.
