Artsy CTO here. I am excited to see this article and, putting aside that it quotes me :)
A couple of things I wanted to highlight that are not in the article and should have been.
- Pay attention to how Microsoft has used open-source to turn things around in terms of developer credibility.
- Becoming open-source by default can still be an advantage as 99% of companies don't do it. It can still fix your hiring pipeline, but that advantage won't last as it's becoming more mainstream.

- pdimitar 8y agoWhy didn't you open source before ElasticSearch invented something better than yours? Was the code your core business proposition? I doubt it but still asking. Was there a bureaucratic blocker -- or golfer-type rich guys with strong bias who simply don't get software? Or was it something else? I mean, I am pretty sure you guys knew for a long time that this moment has been coming. What kept you from reacting a bit earlier?
