Inner Source
summary
Company applies open-source practices internally to tame growth from ~60 to 435 people, creating a public reference architecture wiki and a shared global elements API. Work flows through GitHub-style pull requests, code reviews, cross-team guilds and CI with extensive test suites (examples cited: thousands of tests, ~20+ per PR in large projects). Result: modular, reusable UI and API components, slower for deadlines but scalable and adopted across hundreds of codebases.
