Intel Finds More Women Getting Involved In Open-Source, Maintainer Burnout Continues

([Intel] 67 Minutes Ago Intel Survey)


Intel has been running [1]an annual open-source developer survey and they recently wrapped up their survey for 2024 and today published the results to provide various insight into the health of open-source development.

Intel's 2024 Open-Source Community Survey found 29% of respondents identified as female, which is a big jump from 8% in their prior survey. Though the sample set of this most recent survey is just 334 respondents.

The Intel survey found the top challenges faced by these open-source developers was documentation and onboarding followed by technical debt, security and vulnerability management, and sustainability. 26% of respondents also reported maintainer burnout.

Intel's survey also found 61% of those surveyed admitted to using AI tools. Most are using open-source AI tools for natural language processing followed by automation and recommendation systems.

Overall, the philosophy is to attack the availability problem from two
complementary directions: to reduce the number of software errors through
rigorous testing of running systems, and to reduce the effect of the
remaining errors by providing for recovery from them. An interesting footnote
to this design is that now a system failure can usually be considered to be
the result of two program errors: the first, in the program that started the
problem; the second, in the recovery routine that could not protect the
system. -- A. L. Scherr, "Functional Structure of IBM Virtual Storage
