"I would estimate that writing the initial code for a feature is about 25% of the total work involved for that feature. The rest is maintenance—testing, diagnosing and fixing bugs, optimizing performance, upgrading it to work with other changes, refactoring, customer support, writing documentation and similarly revising the documentation over time, and possibly ultimately rewriting the code" https://www.construct.net/en/blogs/ashleys-blog-2/reality-long-term-software-1892 by @AshleyGullen

"... some developers seem perfectly capable of writing a large amount of complex code, but appear to have little appreciation for maintenance considerations."

Excellent blog post on the true cost of software maintenance.

Here are some of our main takeaways from the EU Open Source Policy Summit 2025:

— Open and collaborative innovation solves the dilemma of #competitiveness and #sovereignty
— Now is the time to invest in open source #maintenance and #security
— Building sustainable open source ecosystems remains challenging but necessary
— Open source is being increasingly regulated in Europe, and the new challenge is #implementation and #compliance

Okey dokey,
I was planning to change my drivetrain in spring when the snow-salt-gravel season is over, but when riding home I felt this oval sensation when pedaling.

And knew the bottom bracket must be living the last days of its life. And yeah, the bearings were pretty shot, so decided to let it retire now. The last two bottom brackets I've ridden until the ball bearings have been literally on the road, and while it's good to use stuff until the end, it sorta sucks when your central axle runs on no bearings.

(It happened to me once during courier work. The drive side bearing just exploded and I rode the last order of the day having bearings only on one crank while the drive side turned in the empty bearing cup. It felt super weird and isn't effective, but you can do it.)

When buying your #network #connected #devices, make sure that vendors #support matches your #expectations. Devices might be #EoL even thought they are still being sold . #Maintenance is hard - our decade old Turris 1.0 still receives #updates (contrary to the industry standards) and it is not easy . Sometimes you can #reflash the device with your own #firmware to fix the #security issues, so prefer devices from vendor that pushes their #hardware support #upstream. https://vulncheck.com/blog/zyxel-telnet-vulns
