He says: From this point of view, you can see that open source projects have a huge scaling advantage because all code is shared. If someone is waiting for a component, and they are frustrated enough, and talented enough, they can just fix the problem. The code is all shared, anybody can build and fix any component, and the responsibility for critical components can move around. The answer to the dependency problem is less hierarchy, and fewer official tool builders, not more. But this can't be right, because even closed-source commercial projects are "open-source" from the perspective of the developers themselves.
