Why does the GitHub Sponsors program matter to me?

  • Engineering is challenging: the relevant problems inherent to it directly result from two main issues:
  1. Velocity
    • High-velocity teams prioritize direction, speed, and risk mitigation.
  2. Proprietorship (Closed-source/Internal Software)
    • Accessibility (Cost, Source Code, Lifespan, etc.)
  • According to RedHat's "The State of Enterprise Open Source," the expected change in enterprise open source use is up from fifty-nine (59) percent in 2019 to seventy-seven (77) percent in 2020.
    • Δ +18%
  • This growing reliance on open-source software and my observations on the harmful effects of velocity and proprietorship in software engineering are why I am interested in being sponsored through the GitHub Sponsors program. With the GitHub Sponsor community's support, I aim to develop, maintain, and actively contribute to open-source initiatives that matter.
