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.

There is no 'secret sauce' here. The real 'secret sauce' stays secret. The goal of articles such as this one is mainly recruiting, of the 'look at what we're doing here, you should totally want to work here' variety, and it is very effective.
