Ask HN: What do you think of open-sourcing and building in public as a startup?

I've seen a lot of startups these days building in public, posting regular updates ( even when there's not a release ) about what they are up to on Twitter, blogs, etc. What are your thoughts on building in public? Tried it? If so, did it change anything? Did it help you grow in terms of accountability and/or outreach? Another thing is being open-source as a startup. Wondering how people's experience and thought-process varies on starting as an open-source startup. P.S I'm not referring to deep tech being open-source ( comma.ai for example ), I'm referring to more innovative software-related startups/apps that started open-source.
