Today I gave a guest lecture at KAIST CS350 Introduction to Software Engineering. Slides are up.
Nobody's job, everybody's problem: F/OSS in the age of AI: F/OSS basics, the commons problem, how maintainers get funded, and how projects like Zig, Ghostty, and Fedify are handling AI contributions differently.

Nobody's job, everybody's problem: F/OSS in the age of AI - Slidev
"A guest lecture for KAIST CS350 Introduction to Software Engineering.\n\nMost CS students use free/open source software every day. Fewer have seen\nwhat happens after a project has users, bug reports, security expectations,\nand downstreams.\n\nThe first half looks at why engineers choose free/open source software, why\nshared infrastructure often has no clear owner, and how maintainers pay for\nthe work. The second half turns to AI-generated code, using contribution\npolicies from Zig, Ghostty, and Fedify to show how maintainers are\nresponding.\n"
