Remote development environments have matured immensely over the past few years, with Gitpod leading the charge. Today I am joined by Pauline Narvas and Chris Weichel of Gitpod!
We talk about remote dev environments, the importance of community for the company, and how the organization + technology operates.
I hope you enjoy the discussion!
