🎉 Welcome to the Roy Family Open-Source Mashup 🎉

Hey there, fellow Succession addicts! As the final season kicks off, I thought it'd be a blast to give you something to smile about. Remember the White Lotus tweet thread comparing characters to open-source contributors? Well, I gave the Succession characters an open-source makeover!

Succession Characters and Their Open-Source Counterparts 👑

Logan Roy

…like Linux, serves as the backbone of the Roy family's business instead, but can sometimes be inflexible and resistant to change, like an old-school Linux sysadmin.

Kendall Roy

…like Kubernetes, manages the Roy family’s complex operations, but can sometimes get bogged down in the complexity and create more problems than solutions.

Roman Roy

…like WordPress, powers the Roy family's public persona, but can sometimes struggle with basic functionality like formatting and layout.

Shiv Roy

…like Apache Kafka, enables the Roy family's financial operations to run smoothly, but can sometimes overcomplicate things and make processing data feel like a Kafkaesque nightmare.

Tom Wambsgans

…like Git, manages complex relationships and alliances, but can sometimes be confusing and difficult to navigate, leaving everyone scratching their heads like they're stuck in a Git merge conflict.

Gerri Kellman

…like OpenSSL, ensures the security and integrity of sensitive data, but can occasionally have security vulnerabilities.

Connor Roy

…like GNU, values personal freedom and openness over the family business, but can sometimes be so uninvolved in family affairs that he seems like a piece of free software with no support or maintenance.

Frank Vernon

…like Ansible, streamlines the Roy family's complex business operations and ensures everything runs smoothly, but can sometimes be too rigid and automated, leaving no room for creative problem-solving or innovation.

Stewy Hosseini

…like Hydra, uses multiple parallel attempts to gain access to a system; however, his actions can sometimes get stuck in an endless loop or backfire.

Greg Hirsch

…like Apache Hadoop, helps manage big workloads and processes vast amounts of information for Tom and the Roys, but can sometimes be slow and difficult to get started.

💥 That's a Wrap! 💥
