The open source culture of freedom and responsibility at Netflix

We decided to catch up with Jeremy and ask him a few questions in advance of his talk. I’m really looking forward to learning more about the culture of Netflix which Jeremy describes as “Freedom and Responsibly.” How that ties to open source? I’m curious. But I get the impression that breaking things and fixing them quickly is part of that culture and might include a “you break it, you fix it (quickly)” kind of attitude.

In this interview, I ask Jeremy how he applies open source outside of technology and what he wishes were more open in this world. His answers might surprise you.
