Imho, eating your own dog food is one higher virtues of software development (although I wouldn't recommend it in real life due to dog food vs human food quality standards).

Having to use your own product or process (eg, Github PR workflow) makes you aware of the problems and painpoints it might bring onto others, often resulting in better product.

Ever since I realized that the "license scan: passing" badge is FOSSA, I've been seeing it on a bunch of other open source repositories, too. Like https://app.fossa.io/projects/git%2Bgithub.com%2Fwebpack%2Fw....
