Gitlab from YC to IPO

Re:Gitlab from YC to IPO by jypepin on Thursday October 14, 2021 @11:15AM (#28865447)

I used to work at Uber's Amsterdam office at a time where the remote nature of the office (from SF HQ) was a struggle for some teams because of strong dependencies on teams located at SF HQ.

Sid came to the office and talked to us about some strategies Gitlab used for remote work, timezone differences etc.

Not only the talk was very helpful, Sid was an incredibly clear communicator, calm and humble. He really seemed to be a great leader and someone it must be nice working with.

We used this as a template the year before the pandemic to get our mostly remote teams working well. Once the pandemic hit, there were few issues we had to address.

I very much appreciate them making that public.
