Thanks for your kind words, we appreciate it! It has been a crazy day https://twitter.com/gitlab/status/1003779174631235585

One of my favorite features from GitLab is, without having to install any other tool, I can get a link from the response to create my MR. Such a simple feature, yet so convenient.

can you elaborate on this feature?

I'm impressed how far GitLab has come in a short amount of time. It's a pretty well-designed platform, when it comes down to it. I think the Vue-based user interface and the data model are probably the cornerstones of it, and using Ruby on the backend just helps them iterate quickly. Ruby also seems to be getting more robust [1]. Their CI/CD platform is really a great approach, emphasizing the GitLab Worker as a port…

The term CI/CD suddenly appears everywhere. Can «continuous integration and continuous delivery» be shortened to CI&D or CIaD? Or how do you pronounce CI/CD? AC/DC backwards?

We took external investment so we need to either get acquired or IPO. Since 2015 we're aiming for an IPO in 2020 https://about.gitlab.com/strategy/ and so far we're on track.

Or maybe, you could become profitable organically in the future. Today, might go down as a turning point in your history

Call me cynical, but the goal of startups is not to become organically profitable. It's something extremely hard to do anyway, especially in the developer space nowadays where everyone expects everything to be fee.

Is 4 letters really too long? I pronounce it Sea Eye Sea Dee.

If you push a new branch to a GitLab project, we return a URL to immediately create a merge requests, which appears in the Git output in your terminal. So rather than going to GitLab, then clicking on a button, you just click the link in your shell.

What's your measurement for determining whether you are on track to an IPO in 2020?

Companies that IPO generally have a certain amount of annual revenue, a certain sized customer base in particular sectors (e.g. SAAS), and have a certain valuation judged by market capitalization. Companies have to be a certain minimum size and must have a predictable business with stable metrics for public exchanges and markets to be willing to list and purchase shares in the company. This doesn't always require being profitable as of the IPO, but it typically requires a credible plan for achieving profitability (in the eyes of investors).

According to the 2017 IPO Report [1], citing SEC data, the median IPO offering size in 2016 was $95 million, and the median annual revenue was $66.5 million. To pick an example according to Crunchbase, Mulesoft raised $221 million in its 2017 IPO at a valuation of about $4 billion. They had a revenue in 2016 of $188 million with a year-over-year growth rate of 70%. For another example, Dropbox's 2018 IPO valued the company at $11 billion on revenues in 2017 of $1.1 billion.
