Why EVERY Tech Giant Uses Open Source
About this lesson
Open source isn't a niche movement anymore. It's how modern technology is built. In this short, we break down why virtually every successful technology company now relies on open source software — including companies that once fought against it. Microsoft famously called open source a threat in the early 2000s. Today, it owns GitHub, contributes heavily to open source projects, and has open sourced major parts of its own technology stack. The lesson is simple: The companies that embraced open source adapted to where the industry was going. The companies that resisted it often struggled to keep up. Open source isn't just a software model. It's one of the most powerful forces shaping modern technology. Because fighting open source is a bit like fighting gravity. Eventually, everyone has to work with it. #OpenSource #Microsoft #GitHub #SoftwareEngineering #Developers #Programming #Technology #DeveloperTools #TechStrategy #OpenSourceSoftware ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ℹ️ Check out Stateshift 👇 Most tech companies struggle to build reliable user and developer engagement.
