Lacking structure but a decent introduction to the world of open-source software and the background work that goes into maintaining them.

This is a good reference for someone in the software world but with no open source experience looking to get up to speed. If you make open source, you’ll find that this clarifies thoughts you’ve had, and maybe gives you ideas for how to restructure the way you spend your attention budget.

slow-paced
This book gave me so much more than I bargained for. It is a reflection on the history, culture, philosophy, and economics of open source, with fascinating examples and stories from the open source world. This book introduced me to many topics and ideas I had never heard of before. I don't often say this about nonfiction books, but it was truly gripping. One of my favorite reads of the year so far.
