Even in the quirky world of software development, GitLab Inc stands out.
The company has no headquarters. It’s released a new version of its software on the 22nd of each month for more than nine years and publishes its entire company handbook – replete with details of corporate strategy –online, free for anyone to read and contribute to.The idiosyncrasies are the work of GitLab’s chief executive officer, Sytse “Sid” Sijbrandij, a Dutch web developer who started exploring a business based around open-source programming tools in 2012. The company began trading yesterday in New York after it priced its initial public offering Wednesday at US$77 (RM320.28) a share.
