2. Why do developers care?
● Your GitHub profile is your resume.● Window into a company’s internal culture.● Provides intrinsic motivation in jobs where it would
otherwise be lacking.● Bring your whole self to work.● BYOT (Bring Your Own Tools).

3. How can you improve your open source culture?

“Let’s face it, great developers can take their pick of jobs right now. These same developers know the value of coding in the open and will want to build up a portfolio of projects they can show off to their friends and potential future employers. That’s right, a paradox! In order to keep a killer developer happy, you have to help them become more attractive to other employers. But that’s ok, because that’s exactly the kind of developer you want to have working for you. So relax and let them work on open source or they’ll go somewhere else where they can.”
—Tom Preston-Werner, Co-founder, GitHub
