#2It's unfortunate that Reddit silently went closed-source before being forced to admit it. Certainly a betrayal of trust with their long-standing userbase.

The majority of their code is still open-source.

Yup. I understand the scale and micro services thing, but they could at least keep the mobile clients open (even if with a lagged release for feature launches, or just periodic tarballs).

Maybe having it be open source would represent a security risk? https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit1.0/blob/master/data...

It goes both ways, being open-source can also make your product more secure, as it's out in the open and a lot more eyeballs look at the code.

Making something closed source does not make your product more secure, it only makes it harder to look at. Determined people will still try to understand how your software works in order to accomplish their goals.

Security through obscurity is a valid and effective tactic -- it's simply ineffective on it's own.

It is definitely not the majority and doesn't match what they're running on the back-end anymore at all.

They could certainly upload a version of that file with dummy variables (unless that's what this is).
