Open-source is like all eyes looking at it, with Cam Saul, Metabase

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ "If more people knew what we knew about Clojure..."
For our final episode of "Clojure in product. Would you do it again?" we sat down with Cam Saul, Founding Engineer and Chief Architect at Metabase. What started as a one-week port from Python to Clojure evolved into one of open source's most beloved data tools.
When they first chose Clojure, the team worried they wouldn't be able to hire enough developers. Instead, they found themselves attracting engineers who would go out of their way to fix deep bugs in their open-source code โ€“ and sometimes even join the team!
Join us for a conversation about scaling an open-source project and maintaining a massive codebase. After a decade of building Metabase, Cam is still convinced Clojure is the right choice.
