This works better in larger organizations than smaller ones. In a large org, there are more people working in the same capacity which creates more redundancy and allows for one person to keep doing the business's day-to-day specific work while another goes into open source community for longer term benefits. At a smaller startup, there isn't that extra redundancy so any time one spends investing in future stability or performance comes at great opportunity cost to finding product market fit.
