Our Open Source Philosophy
Why we release our internal tools as open-source projects, and how it makes our consulting work better.
Every tool we build for ourselves eventually becomes an open-source project. nSelf CLI, Unity Sites, the NREL Solar Position Algorithm port. If we built it to solve our own problem, someone else probably has the same problem.
Open-sourcing is not altruism. It makes our code better. When you know other people will read your code, you write cleaner documentation, handle edge cases, and think about the API surface more carefully.
It also makes hiring and contracting easier. Prospective clients can see our actual production code, not a curated portfolio. That builds trust faster than any sales deck.
We use the MIT license for everything. No attribution required for commercial use. If our tool helps you ship faster, that is the whole point.
