I left GitHub after 10 years to cofound Raise.dev. After an early failed experiment building IoT developer tools, we pivoted and built Workbrew: an enterprise-friendly layer over Homebrew, a project I’ve maintained since 2009 and led since 2019. Two years in, we’ve raised VC funding, built a remote team, and have happy, paying customers. Here’s what I learned so far.| Mike McQuaid
I was recently interviewed as part of a research study into the work of maintaining open-source software. I asked if I could make the (lightly edited) transcript public and they agreed. This will be an interesting read for anyone interested in some of the deeper questions about maintaining a project like Homebrew for 10 years.| Mike McQuaid
