Open-Source Everything Except Your Moat

Open-Source Everything Except Your Moat

Insight

Wei Qing's survival strategy for the information age: identify your single most important competitive advantage (your moat), then open-source everything else. Hoarding commoditized knowledge burns energy defending what others will eventually replicate anyway. By sharing freely, you attract collaboration and trust while concentrating resources on what actually differentiates you. This echoes Jensen Huang's ecosystem strategy at Nvidia: invest broadly to grow the market, compete narrowly on what only you can do.
