Why do so many tech companies seem to be releasing “secret sauce” for free lately? I see a lot of posts lately detailing how inner production systems work at large companies, and while I’m grateful, I’m curious why the higher ups think it’s worthwhile to release this information.

The question for 2023 is "How many companies will be investing in this without a clear revenue stream?"

It's quite likely we're entering a period where the current baseline performance of core infrastructure will be considered "good enough" and companies won't employ people to work on these general improvements.
