Nice! Not sure if you are still looking at the the thread, I know Gitlab allows for fully remote (yep, I've read the manifesto :D ) but would you be ok with someone working from Sri Lanka? Time zone differences being main concern?

I've been following gitlab for some time now. Both as a product and a company. Not only is it an amazing product, but from everything I've read they've made a really interesting culture. Would actually love to work for the co

Fair point. Was going by the numbers of 3M USD seed round in 2012, and 17M in 2014. Without much major press and valuations being made public, it's kind of safe to assume that the 3M USD was burning out by the end of 2013. 14M from 201

Wow. That's amazing. I genuinely had no idea that the costs of running could be that high. Thanks for sharing that info. It boggles my mind as to how much money startups probably need just to stay break even.

Can someone explain the math here? 2012 they received 3M in seed funding. 2014 they received 14M USD. The picture on that boat shows 26 (?) people. So let's assume 26 people were always in the company just for kicks. Between 2012 Octob

Well that was pretty awesome. Small suggestion. Fix the times on the comment threads to make it even more realistic. Threaded conversations have people starting a thread 11 minutes ago but getting replies 35 minutes ago. Busted :D

That's genuinely an interesting question to ponder on. I'm unaware of how microbilling lost out in the past and from the post I'm not entirely convinced that was the reason people lost out. But the idea of an account topped u

Holy shit dude. My comment is OT but holy shit. That's a hell of a story. Good reminder to many of us that putting in active work on profiles (linkedin etc) will probably pay off even in normal scenarios. Thanks for posting this. I hop

That's a problem though isn't it? (Serial procrastinator here). When you've got non deadline based tasks (clean up your table), and personal goals (release that side project), the mantra of two deadlines really kicks you in t
