Replicated is a completely remote company, but a few times a year everyone gets together somewhere around the globe. Last week, this was in Los Angeles! We were having so much fun talking about software distribution that we forgot to take a lot of pictures. Here's the ONE picture we took of the entire team all week. Looking forward to the next adventure in the next city! Thinking you might want to join one of these trips? We are hiring ?? https://lnkd.in/g4mRYGgm
