The usefulness of an open source project is not an indication of the project's health, stability, or reliability in production!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I was interviewed recently about Kusari's new security PR bot. Check it out!

I recently wrote my thoughts on why we should focus more on securely consuming open source than trying to enforce the trustworthiness of devs mikeneeds.rest/license-to-n...
