On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), LinkedIn is slightly ahead of HubSpot. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), LinkedIn is ahead of HubSpot. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), HubSpot is clearly ahead of LinkedIn. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), HubSpot is ahead of LinkedIn.
