It's launch week for Merit, so we had to hit some PRs.
Turn on notifications, we'll be returning to regularly scheduled Github PRs very soon.

Went to Denver for the OSS Summit with @0xMasonH.
Three big takeaways:
- OSS remains the best form of distribution for enduring dev tools. OSS is non-negotiable deep in the stack.
- Everyone is excited about the open source infra enabling AI. The tech is so deep and specialized that the industry has converged around highly optimized public infra for serving, auto-scaling and training. Startups can build atop without worrying about building the vertical stack from scratch.
- OSS is aging out and it's existential. Proportion of maintainers under 25 is down 50% over the past 5-years, the industry knows they need to engage the next generation. This is something we're laser-focused on at Merit, with contributor payments and project monetization. More on this coming very soon

Welcome to the team @VirtualElena -- time to accelerate


Elena18.6.2025
1/ Some personal news! I’m joining the absolutely relentless team at @merit_systems to help build a new, enduring financial stack for open source software.
When I asked myself what I wanted to do next with my career (and my life) I had a couple of boxes to check: I knew I wanted to tackle hard problems. I knew I wanted to write and tell stories about tech. And I hoped I could do this with friends. And also, preferably with people at least a foot taller than me, so I could be protected if the AI doomers are right (jk). So when @samrags_ reached out about joining Merit, I was in.
Joining the team feels like coming home in a lot of ways: I’ve known Sam since working with him at @a16z, where I witnessed him ship open source software projects used and loved by countless developers. If you know Sam, you know he’s not just a great engineer, but the kind of guy who will run through walls to solve any challenge. Through Sam I met @ryanfsproule, who shares Sam’s tenacity and commitment to building high-quality software. They level up the entire team with their leadership – which is now made up of @0xMasonH (another friend and former a16z-er), @shafu0x (stablecoin savant), @jsonhedman (high-velocity Typescript guru), @alvaroecuesta (database resilience mastermind), and @zdql__ (member of the open source AI special forces).
Merit’s first releases are coming very soon, so you should follow our team’s account for updates. Can’t wait to share what we’ve been building.
