I think this is hyperbole. Go look at, say, Atlassian's open source code: https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/atlassian-maven-enforcer-rul...

Or https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/confluence-react-components

Or https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/confluence-threaddump-plugin

The thing about "guarantees" is they only take a single counter example to disprove.

Oh absolutely it was hyperbole. I should have said "higher quality"; I'm scared to think about how well-documented and written Atlassians non-open-source stuff is if that's the quality of their open source stuff. I'd bet money that a good bit of it is worse, much worse.
