Re: GitLab migration

 

Also some interesting discussion on Hacker News[1]
Keep in mind that GitLab as a company is quite unique in that they are 100%
remote and employ people distributed globally in many different cultures.
Whether or how GitLab employees discuss politics at work (necessarily, via
electronic communications that presumably are logged and might be published
later for some reason) is probably a different question than the case with
a more traditional company where employees can meet face-to-face and
discuss whatever they want without a permanent record.
