Announcing a new #disintermedia project idea; #SoftwareBurger. There's an old saying that you don't want to see how the burger (or the sausage) is made. But that's what #PeerProduction is all about! Yet, because #FreeCode burgers are often made out of other free code burgers, or used in other free code burgers, and sometimes even used in proprietary burgers, it can be very confusing for people new to the field to understand how all the different burgers fit together.

Strypey (strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz)'s status on Sunday, 23-Sep-2018 19:37:28 UTC Strypey So what if we had a website that visualized any given software package as a #SoftwareBurger, showing the stack of files and dependencies that package is made of as the layers of ingredients? Different kinds of ingredients could different colours, so that files created for that burger were one colour, and external dependencies were a different colour. Clicking on any dependency layer takes you to the burger for that package, and so on. Burgers all the way down to the nuts and bolts.
