Open Source is Awesome

At Knowm, we’re a big fan of open source. Like everyone else these days, we rely on it extensively from our operating systems to our applications. Even this website leverages open source! Bitcoin bounties are found below.

Open source software managed through distributed revision control systems like Git are a tremendously powerful way to develop software. Multiple eyes on code insures quality. Bugs are found and fixed. Code becomes modular and clear. Developers around the world keep the torch of innovation burning 24-hours a day, passing the project from one time-zone to another as dawn sweeps across the earth. Modern decentralized open-source software development is one of the most spectacular innovations in human history. At Knowm, we maintain several open source projects and regularly contribute to others as well. Check out our repos on github.com.
