Knowing which projects/languages/frameworks to invest time into and which to skip (even if they produce useful subprojects) is a superpower these days.

As soon as I saw it was a project by Intel I rolled my eyes and ignored it.

What's going on over at Intel anyway?

This happened recently with Scitkit-Learn Intelex, which was a drop-in replacement for some parts of sklearn that was a bit faster. One day, the Intel channel on Conda just stopped working (and I learned that Anaconda loses the will to live when a random channel you installed one package from is unavailable) and another organization took over Sklearn Intelex.

No communication could be found on Google connecting them to Intel (whose only news around the package was announcing the initial release a few years ago), you had to read the Git issue history to find people talking about the transfer.

I still have no idea what even happened to their Conda channel after the sudden disappearance. The complete lack of communication just left a bad taste in my mouth...

Is OpenCV still owned by Intel, or dependent by them (funding, engineers, etc)? There are many good distros out there, but to my knowledge OpenCV has no other FOSS alternative on par with it.

It's not that difficult. Choose boring over trendy. Simple over complex. Stability and quality over speed and quantity.

There is a lot of software that fits and optimizes for the former. Just be smart and selective about your choices, and avoid compromising.

Thousands of layoffs. It's surprising someone even had time to post the notice.
