So true. Open source lets small engineering teams punch above their weight. Thousands of extra eye balls on the code for QA make it so much better. And the project-user feedback loop is fast.

Some other benefits of our open core model:
1. Remote only is the default way of working, allowing us to hire great people around the world.
2. Our open core model attracts great people, it is rare to have no recruiting problem for engineering.
3. Our technical interview is adding a feature to GitLab, ensuring we test exactly the skills we need when you join.
We don't have a careers page on purpose. Right now the best hires either come from very strong referrals or fall in to our lap via the oss community. People who ask us about hiring: we just tell them to join the oss community.
It saves us a lot of time.
