… a View from Outside
tl;dr
One of the things that excited me about the opportunity to work at Mozilla was the chance to change perspectives. After working in many closed environments, I knew the open source world of Mozilla would be different. And that would lead to a re-examination of basic questions, such as:
Q: Are there any significant differences in the role a VCS plays at Mozilla than at j-random-private-enterprise?
A: At the scale of Mozilla Products [1], I don’t believe there are.
But the question is important to ask! (And I hope to ask more of them.)
