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. deramond.dev/blog/rebranding…

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. anthropic.com/research/launc…

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. anthropic.com/engineering/re…

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…

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. openresource.dev/guide/promo…

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 💙 npmx.dev/recharging

🤖 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! 🤠 socket.dev/blog/ai-agent-lan…
