Jonnalagadda: outsource vs open source
Kiran Jonnalagadda talks
about his personal experience with releasing code under an open source
license, and includes a tip for job hunters. "The first person to
contribute a patch got hired and became HasGeek’s first employee. HasGeek
is now six people. If you’ve never seen us advertise on our own job board,
that’s because we don’t have to. We simply hire volunteers who contribute
to our code. It works great: we don’t need a ramp up period to get them
familiar with our systems, and we don’t need to create fake scenarios for
interviews. They are demonstrating capabilities with production
code." (Thanks to Biju Chacko)
