We are thrilled to announce our investment in Snyk, which is a developer-first security solution that helps companies use open source code and stay secure. For the next few years we collaborated on several co-investments and what ultimately attracted us to Guy’s new company (along with co-founders Danny Grander and Assaf Hefetz), was their bold vision to create a new platform for securing open source components with a dev-first focus.

If you write code for a living, when was the last time you released something as open source? Assuming you take pride in your work (if you don’t… well), open-source code is an incentive to: Make sure the code is not horrendously embarrassing. Some companies like LinkedIn understand this, and make it known that your code could ( and probably will ) be open-sourced one of these days. What have you open-sourced for me lately?

They’ve released the Polymaps source code on GitHub so any developer can quickly see how the API is used, play around with real production code, and modify the base examples for their own use. Whenever I got source code for any application at a user group meeting, I stared at it, played with it, and tried to understand what it was doing. I spent a lot of time with Btrieve and there were endless source code examples to build on. Last week SimpleGeo and their partner ?
