This is actually a clever tool for talent recruitment
Why would a company tip its hand, so to speak, to competitors? The incentive is that it’s a tool for onboarding talent, another way to attract developers to a growing company. Programmers are understandably finicky about the tools they use and want to see what they’re getting into with prospective employers.
Also, this kind of collaborative, open-source attitude is standard practice for this generation of tech creatives. It has come to be expected with this set.
Companies list the apps they have in their stack; a running list of job openings is found at the bottom of their page.
See for yourself. The site is worth a bookmark for anyone working in technology and interested in new apps for business.
