open source

“I'm very, very wary and careful about anywhere where money and open source gets mixed because it can get, like, really screwed up and it can kind of, like, kill projects.”

“And not just tech, but, like, open source is even worse, like in terms of, like, the gender breakdown or minorities that are involved”

“If you look at, you're right, if you just forked a repo and made some, made a couple of edits in one file, it really doesn't, you can't claim that you actually done contributed to open source or anything.”

“Take the example of Metplum, for example, who is building a open source EHR. The fact that they are open source, I would argue, probably help them shorten their sales cycle with enterprises by a year or more.”

“In the case of Airbyte, they got a lot of connectors contributed from the community, but I would be careful on that one. Most cases, you shouldn't count on them, because the quality of the contribution may not be up to your standards, and then you have to deal…”

“I will say it does help open source disproportionately, I would say. Like, I don't know if you all saw there's a ramp blog post that they recently published about building their own coding agent, and they were mentioning that they use open code as a harness be…”

“This is something that, you know, anyone can do actually, it's like this is why I think we're entering the golden age of open source.”
