Bisq pauses hiring for paid open-source roles
What changed
- Removed the specific call for hiring "talented developers, designers, and security experts."
- Added a notice that Bisq has temporarily paused accepting new contributors for compensated development.
- Added a requirement for contributors to contact maintainers before starting any new work.
- Linked to a new blog post regarding "open source development in the age of AI."
Why it matters
Bisq is changing how it manages its community and development. They are stopping paid work for new contributors due to concerns about AI-generated code. This could slow down their feature updates or change how their community grows compared to yours.
