Open source was fun while it lasted. AI-generated submissions are swamping maintainers and bug bounty programs, so the gates are closing, and we can’t say we blame the people closing them. We also dig into Pi 1.0 and the new Pi Durable framework, and a dev who used Claude to reverse engineer Adobe Creative Suite and release it as open source. Plus: Deno joins Cloudflare, and an ice cream map that divided us.
