Nice write-up of an interview (link in replies) I did with Chris talking about the history of Homebrew and how and why I ended up cofounding Workbrew. Proudest part: > In short, if I meet a developer using a Mac, I can almost guarantee they’re using Homebrew. That’s how widespread it is. Even if you’re not a developer, I recommend it as the best (if not only) option on macOS to keep a wide variety of applications from disparate sources maintained. Cringiest part: > I asked Mike what it’s like maintaining one of the largest open-source projects largely in your spare time in the northern extremities of Europe. “Over here, tech’s not nearly as big as it is in the US, but I had a young lad come up to me in the gym today and say, ‘Oh, are you the Homebrew guy? I can’t believe a tech celebrity goes to my gym!’ As a Scot, it made me cringe a bit, public recognition and compliments are rare here,” he replied.

At OpenUK ‘s #soocon24 this year TI had a coffee with… Mike McQuaid, CTO at Workbrew and Homebrew project leader. The software developer discusses the economics of open source, his new commercial software venture and the power of saying ‘no’. Mike reflects on the role of open-source maintainers as gatekeepers and the delicate balance between voluntary contributions and economic sustainability. He also touched on the need to protect the time of contributors and prevent burnout in the open-source community.
