Morgan, and Goldman Sachs are shifting gears—embracing open source to cut costs, move faster, and collaborate better. 📈 In 2024 alone, finance professionals made 750K+ commits on GitHub—a 55% jump since 2021. That’s not just adoption; it’s active contribution. 🔗 Read more via Business Insider: https://hubs.ly/Q036422X0 (paywall) 💬 What do you think? Is open source reshaping finance? Let’s discuss! ⬇️ #OpenSource #Finance #FinTech
💬 Is open source now a competitive advantage in finance? 💡 “If you're building something and it is not a source of competitive advantage, you have to wonder: 'Is this already outside? Should I be using it if I'm not using it? Is there something or a gap that I should be improving and contributing back my improvement?’ And only then should you build something net new.” — Dov B. Katz, Managing Director, Morgan Stanley & FINOS Governing Board Member 🔓 Wall Street’s approach to technology is changing fast. Instead of keeping everything proprietary, financial firms like Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Citi, and BlackRock embracing open source to: ✅ Reduce costs & tech debt ✅ Speed up development & vendor integration ✅ Improve engineering retention & collaboration 📊 In 2024 alone, financial services professionals made 750,000+ commits to GitHub, a 55% increase since 2021 – proving that finance is no longer just using open source, but building it together. 🔗 Read more in Business Insider https://hubs.ly/Q036422X0 (paywall) 👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments!
