Open Data Is Dead
I think this headline was poorly chosen.
When I see the term "Open Data" I instantly think of open data portals - mostly run by governments around the world. These things have never been healthier: ten years ago they hardly existed, today you can get civic data from local governments all over the place (last time I saw an attempt to count there were over 4,000 of these portals, and that was a few years ago).
My favourite example is still this CSV of all 190,000+ trees in San Francisco, which is updated most business days with details of the latest tree changes: https://data.sfgov.org/City-Infrastructure/Street-Tree-List/... - I track changes to it here: https://github.com/simonw/sf-tree-history/
This article is about something different: it's about what I guess you could call the "Open APIs" movement. Back in the days of Web 2.0 every service was launching an open API, hoping to harness developer attention to help make the platforms more sticky. Facebook and Twitter both did incredibly well out of this strategy, at least at first.
THOSE APIs are mostly on the way out now. Companies realized that giving away their data for free has a lot of disadvantages.
Open Data is doing great. Open APIs are not.

London Street Trees
I've been Git scraping the San Francisco version of this for a few years now.
My https://github.com/simonw/sf-tree-history repo now has 444 commits (most recent one was just 4 days ago) tracking every change that's been made to https://data.sfgov.org/City-Infrastructure/Street-Tree-List/... since March 2019.
I haven't yet done anything with this data, but there is so much potential for visualizations and other fun stuff with it. If anyone wants to have a go please be my guest!

Building a Basic Forex Rate Assistant Using Agents for Amazon Bedrock
For inspirations on what type of agents I should build, I turned to the Public APIs GitHub repository which has a curated lists of free APIs. I narrowed my search for an API that does not require sign-up or an API key and returns useful information. I ultimately decided to use the Free Currency Exchange Rates API, which seemed promising upon some basic testing.

Creating my own distribution channel helped me validate a new idea
I remember the forking of https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis and the long git issue discussions. The company owning the repository stopped maintaining it but didn't give up control either. Over the years you've put in a lot of work in publicapis.dev and that is much appreciated.

Show HN: Open-source Heroes – Explore the world of open source
Also, that isn't really a list of "contributors", but of "organisations with the most stars". Those are different things.
For example "public-apis"[1] didn't "contribute" anything as that's not a person, and looking at GitHub[2] there are a bunch of substantial contributors (the person who created the organisation/repo only has 12 commits by the way);
