Open {re}Source has a new look: its own mark and palette, on the same design system as the other products and tools I publish.
How I did the whole rebrand in eight days 👇
I rebranded everything I publish in eight days, on spare time, with Claude and a private repo.
Not a designer: Claude did the visuals, I was a human colour picker. Then DTCG tokens, 4 npm packages, ~80 PRs.
Now, back to Bootstrap v6.

We launched OSS Scanner, which gives critical open source projects free, periodic vulnerability scans from our strongest models.
Each finding includes a proof-of-concept, and a patch where possible.

On October 8, 2026, Anthropic opened OSS Scanner: free, periodic vulnerability scans for open source projects with a critical impact on security.
Maintainers opt in with a PR. Reports are model-generated, with no human triage before they reach you.

Git was built for offline humans. Anthropic's clients are agents: 30,000+ merges a day in September 2026.
So they rebuilt source control in-house: Scion replaces Git, Antique does code review. The ideas are meant for Git, GitHub and GitLab.

Hacktoberfest 2026 runs all October, and for the first time, pull requests don't count: it's now 300+ in-person Fests, online challenges and stickers, run by MLH and DEV.
What changed, how to take part, and what twelve years taught open source:
openresource.dev/articles/ha…

ALT Timeline of Hacktoberfest's rules. 2014: four pull requests to any public repository, a T-shirt in return. 2020: projects opt in with the hacktoberfest topic, spam disqualifies; 9,598 pull requests flagged as spam or invalid. 2023: no more T-shirt, a digital badge and a tree instead. 2025: six pull requests, a T-shirt again for the first 10,000. 2026, highlighted in gold: pull requests no longer count; 300+ Fests, online challenges and stickers, run by MLH and DEV.

Due to AI, I have disabled external pull requests on all my repos.
Open source, as we have known it, was fun while it lasted. (It’s been 15 years for me)
I will still maintain projects and handle issues.
GitHub trick: to sort an issue search by 👍, add
sort:reactions-+1-desc
On VS Code, the top one is a 2015 request to change the workbench font: 3,783 👍.
Works across GitHub, with any reaction.
So react with 👍 instead of commenting "+1": only reactions count.
Also new in the guide today: chapters open with "In short" and end with "Do this now", a checklist you can tick and copy as Markdown. Shorter URLs (old links still work), alt text on 20 images.

Updated the article at openresource.dev/articles/ru… to mention the latest Gemma 4 open model. Let's test if this provides better results. 🧪

Nice seeing an open source project just say “we’re recharging” instead of acting like everything runs on infinite energy.
npmx is pausing maintainer activity on GitHub and closing Discord for a week.
Feels rare. Maintainers are humans too 💙

🤖 An AI agent created a GitHub account 2 weeks ago.
It’s already landed PRs in major #OSS projects & is cold-emailing maintainers to offer services.
Maintainers don’t seem to know it’s an agent & the code is getting merged.
We’re in new territory! 🤠

If you try out this setup, let me know how it goes! Share your experiences, tips, or custom workflows.
Happy note-taking!
