Description

Working in Public: An Inside Look at Modern Open Source Software Development The way we create and share software is changing. In recent years, open source projects have shifted from collaborative efforts to solo operators creating code that's consumed by millions. Nadia Asparouhova examines this shift and its implications for the online world. Asparouhova draws on her experience working at GitHub to understand the challenges faced by developers in modern open source software development. She explores the structures, roles, incentives, and relationships involved in these projects, as well as the often-overlooked maintenance required of their creators. By studying this phenomenon, Asparouhova sheds light on how platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Twitch, YouTube, and Instagram are affecting online interactions. This book offers a unique perspective on the evolution of open source software development and its impact on our online social systems.
