'GitLab was never intended to be an all-remote company. Things just
worked out that way.
When it launched in 2012, the tech business comprised only CEO Sid
Sijbrandij, working at home on his computer in the Netherlands. His
first hire was in Serbia, and GitLab engineering fellow Dmitriy
Zaporozhets, based in Ukraine, later joined as a co-founder. Soon
everyone recognized the efficacy of eschewing a centralized workforce.
"I hired a few people in the Netherlands, and they came to my house,"
Sijbrandij says. "But then they stopped, because why do the commute?"
Now, GitLab is well-known for its all-remote policy. While it's
officially based in San Francisco, the company has 850 employees across
more than 55 countries, all of whom work from home.'
We use and recommend GitLab at my employer. It’s the best integrated
solution for software development, it’s open source, and you can install
and run the community edition yourself for free.
Share and enjoy,
