Rock star and remote oracle [Darren Murph](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/readmes/dmurph/?ref=philsimon.com) joins me today. He serves as the Head of Remote—cool title—for [Gitlab](https://about.gitlab.com/?ref=philsimon.com). We talk about organizational alignment, Slack, intentionality, the importance of documentation, software development, culture, talent shows, and much more. This conversation was one of my faves.
