S08E07 - Hayden Barnes on .NET NES: Why We Need a New Approach to Open Source Maintenance
In this exclusive conversation, Jamie interviews Hayden Barnes from HeroDevs, a company that offers 'Never Ending Support' (NES) services to help organizations keep their applications running smoothly. The two discuss the challenges of relying on free labour for open-source projects, the importance of paying contributors, and how HeroDevs is addressing these issues with its NES model. From the impact of log4j and Equifax-style vulnerabilities on organizations, to the need for reliable support services, Hayden shares his insights on how HeroDevs is helping businesses navigate the complexities of modern software development. With a deep understanding of the open-source ecosystem, Hayden provides practical advice for anyone looking to improve their approach to NES.

2. While the support is offered through a third party (Herodevs), the support is structured such that a portion of the funds raised for the extended support feed directly back into supporting the cost of project infrastructure (CI, website, releases, etc). So paying for ext. support helps Node.js
June 22, 2025 at 1:24 PM
... The project has long maintained that extended LTS was best provided through paid third party efforts. The fact that Herodevs (who also happen to be Gold-level Members of the OpenJS Foundation) are able to provide such support in a way that feeds funds back to the project makes it even better.
