The author makes a blanket assumption that because you release something as open source, you will get feedback from other developers. From experience this will not happen unless the project reaches critical mass. Even then, the ratio of people that help to the people to use the software is always huge. Some of his arguments for releasing open source are very weak, excused documentation and liberation from delivery schedules especially. The authors main open source example is Pantheios which is a library. There is no market for libraries. Using an open source library to enable consulting gigs is a common business strategy. This posting is fairly weak.
