True! I should have mentioned that it's also enabling non-engineers to participate similarly to the thriving open source community. First question... @mdeiters - When we first met, you were working on Coderwall (coderwall.com) prior to joining YC. Years later you've moved on to Assembly. Why did you decide to pivot and what are your plans with Coderwall?

I'm one for the founders of Assembly and happy to answer any questions. #AMA Ryan sums it up nicely...though I'd add that our platform is for more then developers too. We already have designers and those that want to help with marketing involved. Thanks Zack for sharing.

@mdeiters would love to use assembly internally at my companies/projects - are you guys working towards a product that can be used internally in companies?

Matt, Assembly is fucking amazing. I've been toying with the idea recently of "the pull request as the default model for work," and what I mean by that is that the ability to pull something, make changes, and ask for acceptance is absolutely one way work will shift in the next 10 years. At TaskRabbit, it really solidified to me that there are certain tasks you want to keep in house but certain ones you're comfortable outsourcing. PRs kind of meet in the middle by giving access to internals but keeping people at an arm's length. I'm sure Quirky was an inspiration for the model as well, right Matt?

@mdeiters - Got it. So you haven't really changed your vision or primary audience. What's the coolest/craziest/most interesting product idea someone has submitted so far?

@mdeiters - BitCoin futures. I know a guy that would be into that. :) What's the biggest risk in making Assembly a success?

When @mdeiters first told me about Assembly a few months ago, my reaction was, "Wow, that's f'ing ambitious!" I'm rooting for him because of its potential to change so many people's lives. Sharing economy startups like Lyft, TaskRabbit, AirBnb, GetAround, and many others are empowering people to live better, more autonomous lives. Many engineers already contribute to open source projects without pay but if Matt and team can create a platform for these contributors to get paid for doing what they love, many people will live happier lives. Sorry if that sounds a little cheesy and promotional... Matt didn't pay me to write that. :P

I've been test driving this platform for building, and it's a great convergence of technologies and habits. Talent anytime, anywhere kind of concept. More thoughts - http://www.techproductmanager.co...
