One slide highlighted my vision for what made the bazaar of open source development, or a permissionless network like the Internet, so powerful: • An architecture of participation means that your users help to extend your platform. • Low barriers to experimentation mean that the system is “hacker friendly” for maximum innovation. • Interoperability means that one component or service can be swapped out if a better one comes along. • “Lock-in” comes because others depend on the benefit from your services, not because you’re completely in control.
