Congrats to the GitLab team! They and a few other companies lately have shown fantastic customer and revenue numbers around an open source product. (I mean, a $1B+ valuation is cool, but the underlying customer metrics are way more important because that’s what it’s all based on.) This is an important step toward increasing the % of all software that is open source.

I've been super impressed working with Sid that his eye is always on the prize and he pushes us to work towards making our users and customers happy rather than go after any vanity metrics. It's ironic but this is novel in the valley now :p.
