Thanks for highlighting this! I was lucky enough to get to be the shadow this week, and it's been an incredible experience.

The program is outlined in our handbook if you want to find out more info: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/ceo/shadow/

Ah from the handbook

You are eligible to apply for the program if you have accepted an offer at GitLab as a:

Director or up, Distinguished engineer or up, or Senior product manager or up. Manager or Staff engineer, if there is 1 consideration. Individual Contributor, if there are 2 considerations.

I was thinking more like olden times where you work your way up from the delivery boy spot or something and this was a chance to do it. Maybe I misunderstood?

In what way would this be contrary to that? It’s not like delivery boy to CEO was a five year pipeline in the “good old days” either.
