I remember, back in year 2000, I went to a speech held by ESR (somewhat odd since I am based in Europe) with content very similar to this article. He was ranting about how all companies should open source their code because that is what keeps employees stay and happy. It was in the middle of the netscape/mozilla open source craze.
My reaction was "OK, this is the guy everyone is talking about".
A few months later - the job market was entirely different. And that stuck for many years after that.
- democracy 5y agoI am trying to think of a reason why open-sourcing my employer's code would make anyone happy and I can't :) Or maybe I have too much stuff I work on on my own to worry about it...
- fifilura 5y agoExactly. This was 2000 and ESRs speech. The example he brought up in his speech was some boring banking middle layer which he had with him on a cd-rom.
