Do offices matter anymore? @gitlab went public this past week and the stock rose lifting their valuation to $11 Billion. No offices and have always been remote first. Explain how creative connections only exists in hallways and huddle around a whiteboard. marketwatch.com/story/gitlab…

MBA's literally have nothing on people who've created a company from scratch. I don't care where you went to school.

"The educational divide increases if we don't have the ability for everyone to be able to not just connect, but do it effectively from home. And so if we're unable to do that, then students who don't have access fall further behind." - @cltgov CIO Reenie Askew

A really happy follow to my digital divide story from last week: Grier Heights, a Charlotte community that experiences low rates of internet access, is getting free Wi-Fi. @CrossRoads_Corp @OpenBBNet @CLTgov charlotteobserver.com/news/l…

Partnership brings more internet access to Grier Heights, where many homes lack it

Two apartment complexes will get free internet and the community center’s service will be upgraded.
