Abstract Adiscon runs two first-class lines of work: open source and closed source. We apply clear policies per project, keep boundaries explicit, and share engineering concepts and practices where that makes sense. This post explains the pattern: how we develop in both worlds, how ideas flow in both directions, and why we consider that co-evolution […]
