Growing Up The Hard Way

This article uses a metaphorical narrative about open source software's evolution, comparing its early unrestricted and trusting period to childhood before confronting more mature security and governance considerations. The piece appears to introduce a broader discussion about open source maturing beyond its initial permissive practices.

Why it matters: Security practitioners managing open source dependencies need to understand shifting expectations around maintenance, vetting, and risk management in open source ecosystems.
