Real examples here?
(discuss.tchncs.de)
Friend who is not a software person sent me this tweet, which amused me as it did them. They asked if "runk" was real, which I assume not.
But what are some good examples of real ones like this? xz became famous for the hack of course, so i then read a bit about how important this compression algorithm is/was.
Although it's now a larger organization, Redis was started and maintained by some guy that just wanted to make his website faster. It's very widely deployed.
Isn't that something that was basically taken over by corporate people?
Yup... IIRC they basically started a company with a similar name when they didn't really have any association with the project then slowly consumed it.
