When building software, I believe it is important to work in public. Software can give small groups of developers immense power over lots of people. Like how governments work in public and corporations have to be more public than private company, developers should be transparent not only with their source code, but also the discussions and processes while building it. This can be hard to get used to, but not bad once used to it. Great examples of this are #Debian #GitLab and IMHO #FDroid

This is a myth, but i agree about software.
@jones It is true that many governments and corporations are not fully compliant with the law. It is not a myth, it is legally how they are supposed to operate in most of the world. Even the Russian and Chinese governments right now have forms of transparency. And anywhere I've looked, public corporations are required to publish more information about their operations than private ones.
