It’s not about security for us, but about accessibility of technology. Open source lifts the barriers on who can use software (eg outside of politics, compliance, etc), and enables knowledge share. It’s - from Sentrys angle - how we enable any developer to take advantage of our technology, hopefully enabling them to solve other problems and grow the industry.

So cool to see the CTO of Sentry here! This makes some sense to me - I'm actually following an issue with Sentry I had recently and although it's not being fixed anytime soon at least I know the status.

https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-python/issues/370

I'd love to believe that one day someone will crack the nut of "Sentry puts a bounty on this issue and YPCrumble decides to make a PR because it's something he's experiencing AND he'd get some experience working on the Sentry codebase which would be a learning opportunity, and he feels like he's getting paid for his time."

Will make sure folks see this internally. Thanks for the feedback!
