summary

Claims concrete procedures and outcomes GitLab runs fully remote with zero offices and grows from 9 people in 2014 to ~1,200 across 65 countries by 2020 and a near $3B valuation. Operations use a 4000-page handbook as single source of truth, company changes via merge requests as policy, decisions assigned to a single DRI, everything recorded by default, and local meetups funded with a $150 travel stipend — practices that scale hiring, transparency, and measurable results.
