For instance, Twitter, Facebook etc are actually pushing open source projects themselves, but they don't mix those in their developer pages unless you dive deep and almost knowing what you are looking for.
Can I haz Facebook tarball? In seriousness, the utter open sourceness of our codebase is what sets us apart, so we should make it clear pretty prominently on our dev hub. For most platforms, cool open source side projects notwithstanding, the API/SDK is all you get to talk to the core platform - in our case you get the platform itself. So I don't agree that we should point folks to the API first, and to the platform second.
With that said, I agree that the dev hub currently is pretty much inside baseball and we should try to make it more understandable if we prominently link it from every footer of every page.
