No disagreement there. It's just so weird to me that there is no "here's how you build an app, here's how you test code, etc" from the big players.

What you're asking for is convention over configuration. Which is what we have with things like Django, rails, etc.

By a major company, yes.

Why does it need to be by a major company? We have stuff like Angular, Polymer, React. I'm happy stuff like Ember exists despite not being by a bigco.

Not to mention vital tooling and infrastructure like babel webpack lodash, blah blah, and fire catching like vue.

Not sure Babel's the best example for you here - the (heroic) maintainers are chronically under-funded and overworked. Its one of the best examples of why I think the OSS model is so profoundly broken and un-maintainable.

They are just getting started. Funding and partnerships and relationships take time.
@left_pad drove babel to a better position then it could ever be to continue to drive change and support for babel.3 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

Indeed. Funding comes from partnerships and organizations that need the tool, (mostly) not collection plates. I think we need to make people more aware of how to push for funded time to work on OSS and make it more socially acceptable to talk about this funding model.

Emphatically, this is about individuals seeking funding for their work, and orgs funding individual work, not a single big company managing & funding all the employees themselves. The governance (including project management) should be in individuals, not corporate hierarchies.

One big challenge is the discrepancy between how comfortable different demographics are about advocating for themselves. The onus has to be, in large part, on OSS enthusiasts inside of orgs to advocate for funding work of good people who want to spend work time on OSS.

But this is not an easy problem. Given the huge amount of OSS funding that comes through this channel in practice, it's an area that deserves more attention.
