The scary version isn’t open source shipping patches.
It’s proprietary software where you have no idea who’s finding the bugs, who’s fixing them, or whether anyone is looking at all. 👻
A patch is proof someone’s paying attention!
I don’t understand these takes. It doesn’t make sense that the largest open source CMS is making security patches? In a world with managed hosting and agents soon (already!) doing the work for us?
Would you rather no patches?!

Coaching my son's 11U baseball team over the weekend in the playoffs. We won both games to get us into the championship game on Halloween! 🎃⚾️
Last game ended with an inside the park grand slam walkoff! I'll be chasing the high from that win the rest of my life!!!

This is a mess. Railway was compromised so all env variables were also potentially comprised including API keys, tokens, auth, etc. Openrouter disabled ALL API keys in response.

"Security fixes like this one aren’t rare. They’re part of running a serious website. The question isn’t whether they’ll happen. It’s whether someone’s got your back when they do."
This Is What “Managed” Actually Means

There is ALWAYS a budget. My favorite response:
"Sorry we don't have a set budget but are excited to see what you propose"
and then...
"Your proposal is beyond our budget"
🤪
If companies would just be more transparent about budgets, it would save EVERYONE a lot of time.
