There is very little to be gained or added from pointing out this was optional -- for some reason the CTO decided to make a point of it.

I think the tone matters. Particularly for matters like this.

To my ear (and many who replied to that Tweet) this reads as "we've decided to do you a favor." Which is very much not the case.

I see it more of "we may have kept it quiet, but we're not making secrets from you - it's indeed our open culture"
