"These young startup entrepreneurs will soon graduate to executive positions at large U.S. corporations"

They will? Where does this idea come from that large companies are the big leagues, and that if you're good enough you'll eventually "graduate" to there?

In my experience it's the complete opposite; small companies are much more discriminating about who they hire.

Considering how much they've open-sourced, I don't think Google is the kind of big company he's talking about.

Do you think that the people who run Github are hoping one day they'll be hired as executives at Oracle?

Good to see open source going mainstream but what comments "their ceo" is taking about? I only see single comment, unless I am looking at wrong thread[1]?

"Software engineers of corporate America are wired in a way that promotes fear. It hurts creativity and growth." I'm horrified to say that I just can't get past that bit of hyperbole.
