12. • Incentivizes engineers to write better quality code • Leads to better engineering hires Why Contribute to Open Source?
13. Open Source Code tends to be easier to read • Clean • Well Documented Quality Code
14. Open Source Code tends to be modular • Separation of Concerns • Independent • Contained Spaghetti vs Modular Code Quality Code
15. Open Source Code tends to be more optimized for performance Quality Code
16. Open Source Code tends to be unit tested Quality Code
17. • Find engineers that are passionate about the work you do • Assess skill level by observing their contribution and collaboration styles Better Engineering Hires
