I've started to read BSOC and I'm thoroughly appreciating it. I think that Wes is looking into notes from the former Growth Team and considering how to add contributor growth as a measure of succeess for current Product teams. I'd like to suggest that anyone in Product who is interested in the subject of contributor growth make at least a brief pass through this book.
Thanks so much for the recommendation, J-mo.
