Move fast and break things.
Merge vulnerabilities.
Double the work.
Merge code without tests.
Anything, but don’t let code become stale.

    Code doesn’t need to be managed the same way in a company as it does in an open-source project.

    Open-source projects are usually longer lived more maintainable, more stable, and more useful than any closed source code I’ve ever worked on for a company. Partially because they’re not under contract deadlines which create pressure to “deliver value” by a certain date, but still. Might be helpful for companies to consider adopting practices the open-source community has shown to work, rather than inventing their own.
