Strange Loop Conference | "Remember When We Broke the Internet?" by Julia Ferraioli and Amanda Casari (Strange Loop 2022) @StrangeLoopConf | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Unforeseen incidents in technology are on the rise, with enduring effects on the systems we build as well as how users interact with them. With open source ecosystems increasing in complexity and growth as sociotechnical systems, we must examine how often these events are happening and if they are truly unexpected.
This talk will explore a series of events in open source history, some of which came as a surprise to users of the open source project and industry as a whole, had a wide and long-lasting impact on technology, or was inappropriately rationalized after the fact with the benefit of hindsight.

@juliaferraioli
julia traces her love of open source back to her time working in machine learning research. Since then, she has contributed to the release, care, and community of open source projects and the open source ecosystem at large. From helping develop strategy for projects to securing infrastructure, she works to secure the sustainability of open source for all. julia is currently enjoying some time off… during which she advocates for open source software, except that she doesn't get paid for it.
Amanda Casari
Open Source Scientist @ Google
@amcasari
Amanda Casari is an open source scientist in the Google Open Source Programs Office, where she is co-leading research and engineering to better understand risk and resilience in open source ecosystems. She enjoys creating anything which makes the data world more open and approachable, including co-authoring the O'Reilly book, Feature Engineering for Machine Learning Principles and Techniques for Data Scientists. She is persistently fascinated by the difference between the systems we aim to create and the ones that emerge. Amanda holds a B.S. in Control Systems Engineering from the United States Naval Academy and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Vermont.
