1. Find an interesting remote job. 2. Sign-up to a local coworking space in Central London and make a habit to go there every day. Try to make friends with people there and go out with them every now and then. Many coworking spaces even try

I hear you. In this case why even have an HQ in California? Why not become fully remote and hire from a range of compatible timezones? I'm just saying that such a fully remote company could hire "average talent" 2-3 times che

I agree with this 100%. We're in the infancy of DevOps. Ironically, "DevOps" started as a philosophy that developers should be able to do operations, e.g. deploy, monitor their apps without relying on external people (previou

Twitter can control what who can post and who cannot (remember Donald J Trump being banned?). Twitter can control what is being read by deciding what is promoted by their algorithms and what gets buried down. These are just few examples. We

Gitlab gives few reasons in their handbook [1]. The obvious one is: "If we start paying everyone the highest wage our compensation costs would increase greatly, we can hire fewer people, and we would get less results." [1] http

There are few github bots [1][2] that keep your fork up to date. They probably don't offer the exact workflow that you want, but you can always customise. I'd assume that if GitHub notices that bots like these are popular, they&#x
