If we all had to walk around naked we'd all spend more time in the gym.- Jim Whitehurst, Red Hat CEO
When building software in the open, accountability is thrust to the forefront and attention to quality and detail become paramount. This is a good thing for software.
Equally as important is the amount of effort that goes into ensuring the product's quality. If a project is started in the open from scratch, a team can easily apply code review and other quality workflows in small incremental steps rather than a single monolithic review of a large code base.
