Open source is usually seen as a win - for learning, visibility, and the community. But have you ever regretted it? Maybe it became a burden to maintain, attracted the wrong users, or got used in ways you didn’t expect. Would love to hear your experience - good or bad.

news.ycombinator.com David Cassel 2025-12-14 14:38:53

When it first launched in 1991, Python “wasn’t lucrative,” remembers long-time Python community organizer Paul Everitt (now a Python and web developer advocate at JetBrains). “But we believed in it. The passion was there — we were doing good in the world.” Yet surprisingly, Python traveled a bumpy early road on its way to becoming the world’s #1 most popular programming language, safely ensconced in the nonprofit Python Software Foundation that would help it grow through the years. It’s a stor

I could see myself running a hotel. A little world where the architecture is otherworldly. And of course, the service is impeccable – because nothing matters more in any business than how customers are treated. (source) I collected this photo as inspiration ~14 years ago.

During the height of the pandemic, a unique kind of online shopping became one of the hottest trends in China’s tech industry.

The model, which was kind of like Groupon meets Instacart, proved especially popular for groceries. But now, China's community group-buying platforms are vanishing one by one.
