The Dev Times #81
Halfway through each month, our newsletter for developers: The Dev Times, brings three reads that our own developers found interesting on the web, and two Transloadit updates that may interest you.
Fair Source - uniting user freedom and developer sustainability
Fair Source aims to help software companies engage with the wider developer community, while staying in charge of their business model. Fair Source licenses software that is publicly available to read, use, modify and redistribute with minimal restrictions, and under delayed Open Source publication (DOSP). A suite of companies have already migrated over to Fair Source licenses (including Sentry, GitButler, Keygen and more) and there are several licenses to choose from. If you like the idea of being Open Source, but would also prefer to reserve a few exclusive rights to your product in order to help achieve a sustainable business model – then Fair Source may be the choice for you.

OpenAI has already updated its Python and Node SDKs with native support for Structured Outputs, so you can try the new feature straight away and see if you notice any improved consistency.
