   We do offer stock options. Do you mean this pay scale https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Schedule_(US_civil_s... ? It would be interesting to see if that would improve our date. I don’t think we have to go more gr

   Thanks for voicing the disparity. We want to pay at or above market so this big of a difference is concerning to me. As we state on every page that has our calculator, we would love to hear from people when we’re far off. Can you maybe shar

   Our reasons for paying local rates can be found on https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/people-operations/global-c... Paying the same wage in different regions would lead to: 1. A concentration of team members in low

    Totally agree that those numbers would make an outsized burn rate. The team member number is from a different date than the revenue number. Our team member number is public on https://about.gitlab.com/company/team/

    I think that it is interesting that this is enabled by a CLA. If the project would have used a Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) this relicensing would not have been possible. When Debian started to use GitLab they asked us to replace o

    You can license your project however you want. People are upset because the contributed to these modules assuming they would stay open source, accepted a CLA, and how they are relicensed as closed source. By the way, this is the situation t

    I want to clarify that last month the main investment in GitLab in our series D was from Iconiq. Google Ventures (GV) did our C round and did (part of) their pro-rata in the D round, similar to other investors like Khosla Ventures. GV is pa

    Thanks for mentioning GitLab. We would not have been able to grow as fast as we did without adopting an open core model. In the beginning we sold only support but companies tended to cancel their support contract after not needing it for a

    RedHat does a great job of being a trusted advisor for companies. Their people are often embedded at customers and are the first stop to ask for advise on anything related to Linux. Recently RedHat was transitioning from selling the VM base

    The wiki edit screen has a Markdown preview tab https://www.dropbox.com/s/ouq7mwgazyyv6nc/Screenshot%202018-... but it disables typing. I think you can override the default index of pages with a custom one.

    At GitLab we still use it for Gitter. It wasn't a priority to convert it to PostgreSQL. After the WiredTiger updates I think Mongo got a lot more reliable. But I would start any new project with PostgreSQL.

    I think it is important that there is no headquarter. Some people having desks at the same co-working space is fine. All the executives in the same building means everyone else is at a satellite office.

    Fun! Rare to see the median go all the way to zero but that is the case for startups.

    Suppose each founder owns 10% at $1b and only count the unicorns. Graduating from YC would represent $1b * 10 % * 1% = $1m of value. Suppose that applying to YC gives you a 1% chance of graduating, this would mean that just applying represe

    Mmm, I agree that if Auto DevOps runs once, fails, and is disabled it shouldn't show a failed icon. Anyone that has a link to an issue or fix?

    Thanks for you kind words about GitLab CI. What are the things that a visual editor is really great at? Getting a good overview of the relations between tasks? Seeing what secrets are available?
