Is it just me or is every big release from Uber just a custom rewrite of an existing technology?

I'm a little sad that this is the top comment here. I mean, maybe you're right. But so what? Some people find this useful, and some won't. Same as anything else.

At the end of the day, every line of code added to the world's pool of OSS code is a Good Thing™ as far as I'm concerned. Even if it's something I personally don't have a use for.

I think we should encourage companies to release code as open source, and give Uber at least some small measure of "props" for the stuff they release. Maybe none of their stuff is a game changer like Linux, but it doesn't need to be.
