RustConf 2022 - Your Open Source Repo Needs A Project Manager by Alice Cecile

Wondering why your open source project is struggling to turn users into contributors? Frustrated by how intimidating and opaque your favorite project is? Overwhelmed by your issue backlog? Open source projects are often focused on the shiny technical features, but investing in transparency, contributor onboarding and clear task prioritization is often the single most productive thing you can do. This talk covers fundamental strategies for project management, and discusses how to adapt them to the unique challenges presented by open source teams, large and small.

Absolutely love how so much of this also applies to modern async/distributed/remote teams in commercial settings (except for the part where so few actually manage to hit even a few of those points.

Many years ago, members of my team found my excessive use of enums as amusing and they kinda mocked me for doing it. So it's amazing to hear "oh my god use enums everywhere".
