Does anyone know what is the rational for Bumble to do this?

  It will be something that we might never know Maybe juste to spite a leaving employee.
  • buzzwords 5y ago
    That's the worst part of it. The move has very little benefit for them.

      It's massively negative. Like the US, software developers are in massive demand in the UK. If you see this story, are you going to bother going through the interview process here, or apply to any of the hundreds of other companies that haven't publicly demonstrated terrible leadership.

  The rationale is that what other people here are saying - that Bumble (Badoo) should have paid them on company time to contribute to open-source - was already happening. Bumble owns under the Badoo repository two projects, called badoo/MVI-Core and badoo/RIBs. These libraries are developed on company time by employees, as open-source. If you check MVIKotlin and Decompose, you'll see that they're conceptually equivalent. You could therefore argue it is, in fact, using company resources. But badoo/MVI-Core and badoo/RIBs are the two official frameworks written and released by Badoo. Then, what is MVIKotlin and Decompose, and does Badoo own the rights to it - if it was developed on company time, based on pre-existing source code owned by the company?

    yeah both MVIKotlin and Decompose says they are inspired by badoo/MVI-Core and badoo/RIBs.
