I find it a bit ironic that Jeff Atwood is advocating reading the source when he's built his company on top of a closed-source stack. Can he read the source of ASP.Net when he encounters an issue with the web frontend? Can he debug into MSSQL Server when he has an issue with database performance?
Jeff can talk about the importance of having source available, but his actions speak louder than his words. He's built a very successful startup on top of a closed-source stack. Having the source isn't as important as it seems, then.
