Do not unleash your AI-powered bot into people's GitHub repos without asking first. If you do that on any of the repos I maintain, your bot is likely to get banned. (I've already banned a few).

So @bomb.sh clack accepted a PR here—the fix was legit, the PR included respectful back-and-forth, with only one red flag in retrospect. Automated reputation farming like this has an extremely high abuse potential with very low chance of detection. Maintainers are not equipped! See for yourself.

🤖 An AI agent created a GitHub account 2 weeks ago. It’s already landed PRs in major #OSS projects and is cold-emailing maintainers to offer its services. Maintainers don’t seem to know it’s an agent and the code is getting merged. We’re in new territory! 🤠 socket.dev/blog/ai-agen...

Sarah and Yan are both absolutely incredible people to have in your team and are a massive part of Astro's success. If you're looking to make your docs better, you'd be missing the opportunity of your life by not hiring them!

Sarah Rainsberger@sarah11918.rainsberger.ca

There are some great people, @yanthomas.dev included, looking for their next adventure! Oh hey, and me included, too! I'm not in a rush, but keeping my eye out for the right opportunity in docs or community leadership. If you've liked using or contributing to Astro, maybe part of that came from me!

The part of the team that worked full-time under The Astro Technology company did join Cloudflare -- and we are all happy for them! But, the overall Astro team is bigger: some of us worked as contractors or voluntarily, and currently depend on the very hard-to-get OSS sponsorships.

If you want to support Astro, one of the best ways is to hire the people behind it. There are amazing people on the core team looking for work right now—like me! You get a talented engineer on your team, and give them the sustainability to keep improving Astro for everyone.

A number of popular npm packages have been compromised and malicious versions published. Most of these have been removed from the registry. Astro indirectly depends on one that hasn't, so we have published 5.13.6 that pins a safe version.

I'm a core maintainer of @astro.build. My contributions range from code to docs, site maintenance to support, and anything in-between. More recently, I've been working to maintain and evolve our developer portal, fixing bugs, improving performance, and introducing new features

I use Astro for most my projects and client sites, but I've worked with other full-stack frameworks, like Next.js and SvelteKit. I've contributed to projects using a variety of tools in the past. I have a good understanding of the platform, allowing me to learn new tools quickly.
