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.

Resume building for people to get their next job?

Lots of these companies opened up the ability for internal engineers to write tech blogs for the purposes of recruiting since the FAANGs were all in competition with one another. Presumably, the VPs haven't gotten around to closing the pipeline yet.
