GitHub to Layoff 10%

GitHub has been remote first forever tho. Microsoft buying them can’t change that without fundamentally breaking the teams.

I thought it was GitLab which was remote-first (or should we say remote-only?). GitHub still seems to have offices and people going into them.

Yeah I don't think github was remote-first when it started.

Definitely was- we didn’t have an office for the first few years. Picked up the first office in 2010, and it was a big component of work life since then (even though the numbers were primarily ⅔ remote throughout).

Oh interesting! Thanks for clarifying. I knew there was an office like a decade ago but I guess I forgot how old Github is!
