I was at their meetup yesterday. What you're implying is definitely _not_ the vibe.
I thought Netflix OSS is great. They're opensourcing something like 30 projects, putting on super well organized meetups with expo like rooms where you can pick Netflixers brain about the software and their internal systems in general, free food&beers, free Ts, etc. It was great.
They do it go give back to the community, to get patches and ports from the community, and hiring of course, there's nothing wrong with that!
- phamilton 14y agoI was there too. I went with a coworker who is a former Netflix employee. He was almost celebrating with each announcement. His biggest complaint about working at a startup is not having access to the tools they have built up. Netflix has built up an amazing platform that is tightly integrated with AWS. By making these tools open source our little startup has a quicker route to a robust and scalable platform. In my opinion that is awesome.
