Gitlab has approx. 2300 employees (!) I never really got why they need to be a public company in the first place.

  That's mad. Gitlab feels like software made by 50 people. Consider how unpolished it is and how slow it is moving.

    You're onto something, I've been part of enterprise projects with a <10 engineer team that had more polished and diverse feature offering.

    > Consider how unpolished it is and how slow it is moving Probably because a lot of it is built on top of decades old ruby code. I've seen Merge Requests for months in review because they need to make sure the page doesn't take a minute to load or just crash the entire thing. And its not like those MRs were ground breaking.

  2800, many are sales roles though.
