> At a lot of jobs I've dealt with using contractors, there was an internal concern that people external "didn't care" enough. How do you plan on addressing this concern?

That’s correct. Either you are a full time employee, or you get second-class culture even if you are part of internal slack. It’s very hard to get external contractors to be excited when they dont get the swag / on-sites and share the culture.

Which is why we want to have devs belong first class citizens in the GitStart Community, and join all hands / game nights and learn from others. And our integrations push through PRs and all the updates to engineering teams.
