I understand NDAs are a thing, but I still don't think I'm too comfortable with the idea of letting a bunch of third-party people look at a bunch of my internal information. And I understand this is targeting startups a lot more than large established companies. But to me that's even more concerning because as a startup you're really trying to move fast and hoping someone doesn't beat you to the punch, and you're handing a bunch of people you don't know how much of your secret internal information, and hope that they don't go talking to other people about it.

I think most engineers (and execs) overvalue secrecy.

My limited experience is that access to your code is really not that valuable to competitors. Code might be valuable to hackers wishing to targeting you, presuming your business is a valuable target.

Most startups are too busy finding product market fit than trying to worry about sharing 'secret information' (your actual secrets shouldn't be in your repo anyways).
