In this episode of The Eric Ries Show, I'm joined by Sid Sijbrandij, co-founder and Executive Chair of GitLab—one of the world's most radically transparent and values-driven software companies.Sid shares how GitLab evolved from an open-source side project into a publicly traded DevOps platform, all while remaining deeply aligned with its values. From turning down a $10 million offer to maintaining control through dual-class shares, Sid walks us through the principles and systems that have shaped GitLab from the start.We also delve into GitLab's renowned, live, and public 2,000-page handbook—how it functions not only as documentation but also as a recruiting tool, cultural backbone, and governance mechanism.In our conversation today, we talk about the following topics:• Why Sid once cold-pitched a submarine inventor—and got hired• What led GitLab to turn down a $10M buyout and pursue an IPO• Why GitLab favors “boring solutions” by default—and avoids reinventing the wheel• The role of GitLab's live, public handbook in building transparency and trust• Why every change at GitLab must be made in the handbook first• How the handbook supports hiring, alignment, and radical transparency• GitLab's approach to decentralized decision-making• Why “customer results” sits at the top of GitLab's values hierarchy• Sid's case for open core as the future of software•How GitLab encourages informal connection in a remote-first culture—and the role of in-person meetups• And much more—Brought to you by:• Ahrefs – Get instant website traffic insights, without the noise. ⁠⁠Learn more⁠⁠. —Where to find Sid Sijbrandij:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sijbrandij/• X: https://x.com/sytses—Where to find Eric:• Newsletter:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ericries.carrd.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Podcast:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ericriesshow.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theericriesshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ —In This Episode We Cover:(00:00) Intro(02:52) The origins of GitLab(04:15) The MVP of GitLab and how it has evolved to a DevOps platform (05:09) Sid's internships and why he chose to work with submarines after(08:57) How Sid became a submarine engineer (11:10) How Ruby sparked Sid's interest in programming (12:28) Why GitLab said no to $10M and chose YC and decided to go IPO(17:45) How GitLab kept control including granting 10x voting shares before going public(22:25) GitLab's extreme commitment to their values (28:29) GitLab's Handbook and how changes are made (33:11) How GitLab handles pushback and how the handbook builds trust (37:38) An explanation of buyer-based open core at GitLab (38:35) The challenges implementing a lean startup approach (45:26) Keeping the organization aligned: How GitLab reinforces their values (53:51) Why GitLab updates values (55:57) Why senior engineers have an easier time securing budget(57:21) Putting customers first: GitLab's value hierarchy explained(59:08) The case for decentralized decision-making—and how GitLab makes it work(1:03:24) The handbook's role in recruiting and building alignment(1:06:25) Maintaining transparency after IPO(1:10:55) The three phases of GitLab's all-remote operating policy (1:17:04) How GitLab developed its open core business model (1:20:19) The trust-building power of open source and Sid's case for open core(1:25:20) Protective governance measures GitLab helps companies take (1:29:28) How Sid has been doing on his cancer journey, and his work to help others —You can find episode references at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ericriesshow.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠—Production and marketing by ⁠⁠Pen Name⁠⁠.Eric may be an investor in the companies discussed.

There is a recent report by Menlo Ventures, 2025: The State of Consumer AI, stating that, "More than half of American adults (61%) have used AI in the past six months, and nearly one in five rely on it every day. Scaled globally, that translates to 1.7-1.8 billion people who have used AI tools, with 500-600 million engaging daily. This is no longer experimentation; it's habit formation at an unprecedented scale. When we do the math, 1.8 billion users at an average monthly subscription cost of $20 per month equals $432 billion a year; $12 billion market indicates that only about 3% pay for premium services - a strikingly low conversion rate and one of the largest and fastest-emerging monetization gaps in recent consumer tech history. Even ChatGPT, with its first-mover advantage, only converts about 5% of its weekly active users into paying subscribers. This gap between usage and payment represents a major opportunity." David Stephen, who does research in conceptual Brain Science explores innovation for Consumer AI profitability The problem for consumer AI companies is simply not for the lack of need but for the absence of - products and services - branching. What are people already paying for that they would be willing to pay extra for, given valuable AI features? Computing for Consumer AI Profitability What are people not paying for that they would be willing to pay for, because it augments their abilities with AI, in a way that is not simply AI agentic usage? What are people using AI for that they have found that comes with risks that they would be willing to pay for [safety] to mitigate those risks? News in Two Languages News publishers are seeking more digital subscriptions amid lower traffic from major search engines because of AI summaries. What else can be added to news [as a service] to make people pay more? Language. All news can be displayed in at least 2 languages: side-by-side, line-by-line, paragraph-by-paragraph. The purpose of this will be to build familiarity with the other language. By seeing sentences, words and so on, in another language, regularly, without the burden of memorization, it can become easier to learn the other language, and maintain a mental consistency in sustaining what is learned. There would be learning resources for the rudiments of the language, but it would be easier for languages with similar alphabets. For those with different alphabets, prior lessons would be necessary. The objective will be to have dynamic and sustained continuity even when there is no one to speak - or practice - with, to solidify the knowledge. A platform can be developed. News publishers can own accounts on it. Then translations are provided for their contents, based on subscriptions and they get something more. They may also host the API on their websites and apps, to have their subscribers there have access. News is not information to memorize. Combining another language would boost cognition across ages, ensure AI is inducing better neuroplasticity for humans and providing new value for mind, not just a utility providing some answers in dissociation - without learning. It may also be useful to source news at certain destinations, with happenings but with only one news edition. It may shape how loved ones from afar get informed. News is what people are paying for already that they would be willing to pay more for, with an extra AI service for language. AI Pen beyond AI Wearable or AI Pin or AI Sound Device What would be the next biggest AI device that would scale and be pervasive would not be an AI wearable or some AI sound device. It would be a pen that would fascinate users. Most humans write with their dominant hands, because of concepts in brain science called laterality and handedness. Simply, one hand delivers more coordination and stability than the other. So, most pens - including digital pens - are built to work with the dominant hand since balance and coordination are not an issue. However, what if a...

This one's for the builders. Brendan Quinlan started knocking doors nearly two decades ago, before iPads, before online training, before it was “cool.” He spent 13 years actively knocking, built his first team from the ground up in Florida, and got laughed out of every pest control office in Canada when he tried to bring D2D to his home country. Fast forward to today, and Brendan leads over 500 reps, operates in multiple Canadian cities, and just launched a new international team in Melbourne, Australia. His company now owns both the marketing and fulfillment side, making them the largest residential pest control provider in Canada, all launched in just a few short years. Oh, and now they're training reps to knock year-round by flipping seasons between hemispheres.
