The ultimate business strategy: hire talented engineers, let them build something amazing, fire them to cut costs, then open source the code so the community can maintain it for free while you rake in the profits. It's like having an unpaid maintenance team of thousands who work out of pure passion while you count your money. Genius move, really—who needs a payroll when you have contributors with imposter syndrome desperate to prove themselves? The best part? The fired engineers probably end up contributing to their own project as open source maintainers anyway.
