How do you reconcile, a company that is built on a open source and also has a commercial product. How did docker reconcile that? That's the question that everybody's trying to answer bazily. I wish i knew the answer, but i don't think there's a clear one. A lot of it is about making sure that your intent in doing open source is very, very clear,. And that you're doing it for a very deliberate reason not for the sake of saying youare a open source.

Episode notes
This week Gerhard is talking with Arnaud Porterie, founder of EchoesHQ, a new utility that measures and communicates engineering activity.
They start by re-creating the 60 seconds Y Combinator pitch, and then shift focus to what it was like to get EchoesHQ off the ground. Next, they tackle something which is always on Gerhard’s mind: Why is it important to connect our daily engineering activity to intent?
Before EchoesHQ, Arnaud used to run the core team and the open source project at Docker, and combined with other engineering leadership roles that he held for over a decade, he kept encountering misalignment that was preventing organisations from making meaningful progress. Let’s hear why EchoesHQ might just be a great way of addressing this.
