The Hidden Infrastructure Behind Our Digital Lives
Ever wondered why your favorite app suddenly breaks after an update? Behind every piece of digital technology lies an invisible world of open source software-code freely shared by developers who often receive little recognition and even less compensation. This hidden infrastructure powers everything from your smartphone to hospital equipment, banks to nuclear submarines. Nadia Eghbal's "Working in Public" offers a fascinating glimpse into this world, revealing how open source has evolved from idealistic community collaboration to something resembling today's creator economy. The challenges facing open source maintainers mirror those of YouTubers, writers, and other online creators-all grappling with the paradox of creating freely accessible content while sustaining themselves in an attention economy gone wild. As billions came online, the dynamics shifted dramatically. We began effectively DDoSing each other with information overload, a pattern particularly visible in open source where developers who share code publicly often find themselves overwhelmed by user demands. The reality contradicts our collaborative ideals. Many popular projects are maintained by just a few developers facing overwhelming demands. Studies show nearly half of all contributors only contribute once, accounting for less than 2% of total work. In over 85% of GitHub projects, less than 5% of developers are responsible for over 95% of code and social interactions. What if, instead of fighting this reality, we recognize it as the new normal?
