Thanks! I think that this is possible because of the transparent culture we created. Other CEOs have the same level of knowledge. There is just no appetite in the company to risk saying things in public.
Yesterday someone showed us the new tech stack page in a meeting. We're all proud because it replaces a bunch of spreadsheets where each department (finance, security, people) tried to maintain the same list of apps with a single yml file. I ask if anyone has a concern if I tweet it, everyone is OK with it since it is already public anyway.
Watching you on two or three unfiltered videos in different parts of the org (sales, product, etc) has sort of left me in awe of what a (as you self describe)”product ceo” is. Not sure how to say thank you, but thank you.

That takes a value of transparency https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/values/#transparency which has us be public by default https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/values/#public-by-default even when it is hard https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/values/#transparency-is-on...
