This piece was co-written with Patrick Malatack, former GM & VP Product at Twilio and now a partner at Matrix, where he focuses on developer tools and infrastructure. A good rule of thumb here is: if a product could run entirely within a computer or company and still be valuable without significant reliance on third parties to deliver value, then it has low connectedness. That’s because the connectedness requires a more concerted sales, marketing, growth, and/or business development effort than makes sense to organize around an open-source project.
