Hidden dependencies in Linux binaries.
I have recently released an open source tool called sotrace. It maps out the .so dependencies for a binary or library, and presents them in a nice graph.
It's a clear, bright and harsh October sun
Lights me up so I've nowhere left to run
I feel scared I have so much debt to pay
Like a bad dream that never goes away

Designing With Integrity: The Ethical Designer's Handbook On Dark Patterns.
In the digital age, where user experience reigns supreme, the design landscape is constantly evolving. However, amidst the pursuit of innovation and engagement, there exists a darker side known as dark patterns. These deceptive design tactics, intended to manipulate users into actions they may not have intended, pose a significant ethical dilemma in the realm of design.

The Price is (NOT!) Right – Repair edition.
We organised this game of "The Price is (NOT!) Right – Repair edition" in Brussels to show policymakers the outrageous and unfair reality of spare part prices.

One interesting thing about Open Source is that one is probably never prepared. You might encounter tricky technical problems, or have to keep up with the new technologies, but there are also a bunch of things other than coding that you have to deal with. You have to be your customer support to answer questions; be a designer, a writer to prepare nice documentation; a project manager to keep the project on track; a team leader to onboard new contributors and keep the team motivated; marketing your stuff; speaking at conferences; and so on. Those are the "side-effects" of being an open source developer, many things come to you in a bundle, not only the code.
