Honestly I’m thinking of Zach Holman today. The poor guy in his exit blog post talked about how he had to give up his github equity due to some tax rule. That has to really hurt.


As a friend of mine has been known to say, "that's a lot of billion."


Wow. Can't turn down that $. Good for GitHub team.


Wasn't the price rumored to be $2B yesterday?


I believe that was the last valuation on investment.


that's a lot of instagram!! but in all seriousness, what evaluation price would that make then for gitlab?
