This week on The Standup, we break down the real way to contribute to open source… and why most people get it wrong.
With creators behind tools like Laravel, Tailwind, and Ghostty, we get into what actually matters: earning trust, fixing real problems, and why “drive-by” PRs (especially AI-generated ones) are doing more harm than good.
We also talk about whether open source is still worth it, how it can shape your career, and the hidden realities of maintaining projects used by millions.
If you’ve ever thought about contributing to open source… start here.
