I think gitlab has a huge advantage in remote work as in their mission is clearly understood by their employees ( to clone github.com). Its a very outsourcable class of problem where requirements are clearly understood and employees aren't required to really come up anything new or innovative.
I am yet to see a 100% remote company thats doing something brand new and innovative.

- agustif 7y agoC'mon that's just unfair. GitHub is Microsoft now, I for one I'm glad gitlab exists even if I don't personally use it much, but it's a nice replacement if centralized microsoft-owned github goes down like it has been in the last weeks/months... Basecamp has a lot of competition and probably some frontend clones maybe, but I don't think it could be called unoriginall or a copycat of any of it's competitors (Todoist,Asana,Etc) They also have great (free) books on working remote like REWORK. Maybe you like that example better? Anyways nothing in life is black or white
- dominotw 7y agoyes gitlab is nice, i use it personally. i wasn't implying otherwise. Gitlab is a copy of github, everything was exactly the same as github until few yrs ago. Like feature by feature replication. I really don't think they did anything truly innovative like github did. >Anyways nothing in life is black or white yea ofcourse, you seem to drawn a false implication that copycat = bad, which is obviously not the case like you pointed out.
