GitLab Co-Founder and CEO on Iteration and Open SourceCategory: Software, Business, Data, Kubernetes, gitlab
GitLab serves as an example of an enterprise that is successfully taking advantage of iteration and applying lessons it has learned — to contributing to and supporting its own open source projects, as well as to the open source community. For this latest episode of The New Stack Makers podcast, Alex Williams, founder and publisher of The New Stack, speaks with Sid Sijbrandij, co-founder and CEO at GitLab, about iteration, open source projects — including Meltano and Kubernetes — and what SpaceX’s iterative development processes in the hardware industry can teach the software sector.
At GitLab, we want to make sure that developers, security people and operations people are brought together to [contribute] to one platform and the 100,000 organizations that use GitLab feel empowered to contribute back every month,” said Sijbrandij. We have over 300 contributions that come from the wider community and, in the end, it’s about empowering people to contribute.”
So if a [project] gets canceled or is too hard and it’s a small amount of work, it’s a much smaller problem,” he said.
