I work as a software developer who's pushed for open sourcing code at our company (unsuccessfully). Premise is that the company's value isn't code, & the idea is that making it open source will produce a more successful product. Generally a software developer's job security correlates with a product's success. It may mean we don't need to hire more people, but I'm not looking to work at a large company, & less people means less mouths to feed
In my own experience I was trying to demonstrate that we didn't need to bastardize the codebase into a million pieces in order to give remote developers only the small part their working on; that we might as well make the code publically available
