Embracing open-source. The vast majority of the code I write at resin.io isn't just disappearing into some black hole to make the company money, tied to the companies decisions and destiny. It's public, so others can find and use and learn from it, it's part of tools that will be useful for a long way into the future, even if our startup disappears, and it's transparent to all our customers and users too. If I ever want to show some future company my past work, I directly can.
It all creates a sense that my work isn't a temporary thing to solve some business problem of ours - I'm creating more-permanent and broader value, not just to resin, but also to me, and our customers, and the open-source community as a whole.
- zeal-technology 10y agoThis is a great point! It is also something me and my co-workers have experienced. We love to build things that not only benefit our company and our goals but our personal careers too. Building and improving our people's careers is really important to us. Something that can be open sourced and keeps our code afloat is looked at as a win.
