“Today, the sourcegraph/sourcegraph repository went private. This is the final cleaving blow, following many other smaller chops, on the culture that made Sourcegraph an attractive place to work.”
Sourcegraph recruited engineers on the promise of building 100% in the open. Then it flipped its main repository to private. Former employees now get to watch their public writing rot, because forks don’t keep pull requests and links into the old repo break. Open by default turned out to be a recruiting pitch, not a promise.
