How Open Source is Changing the World
Open source software has helped businesses across all industries develop and deploy innovative new services. It has broken down the siloes that inhibit innovation and allowed companies to share in their success.
The open source way is also about more than just software – it’s a change in mindset. Through collaboration, meritocracy, transparency, and the support of a diverse community, open source developers are building a better world with better software.

Why reproducible machines didn't used to be a priority (I think)
When I wrote about why we care about being able to (efficiently) reproduce machines, I mentioned that this didn't used to be a priority in the sufficiently old days. By the sufficiently old days I mean broadly the 1990s, at least in more moderate sized environments like what used to be common at the university; I think by even the early 00s, people here were starting to care. Today it's time for my rambles about some reasons why I think we didn't used to care as much.
First, back then it was often harder to keep machines running in the first place. Software was more primitive and hardware was sufficiently limited that we were pushing it much closer to the edge than we did later. If much of your time is spent fighting fires, everything else takes second place. This feeds into the other two reasons.
(One area of software that was more primitive was the software for automatically managing machines.)
