Amanda Folson - Developer Relations @ Meltano
Amanda Folson - Developer Relations @ Meltano
Meltano | All positions are full time and remote | https://meltano.com (follow the code blocks on our website for a demo!) We're a seed stage startup that recently spun out of GitLab. A bit about us: Meltano is an open…
Thanks! This is really useful feedback. To date, Meltano has been geared towards data folks who are likely to understand these concepts and acronyms, but there's definitely a need to explain it for folks who aren't as…
Definitely. That they're trying to position this as an oversight is frankly disgusting. That code was intentional.
This so much. It works really for your house too. I find that decluttering my physical and digital workspace at the end of the day means I'm not stressed about mess in the morning.
Yeah, it was there (along with a note on how to get free stickers) but now it's gone. Keybase stuff is still there though. Random.
Thanks so much for your kind words! We're always trying to improve, so even though some of the comments are negative, it's still good to hear about pain points so we can fix them.
Hmm, not sure what happened. It was there, now it's not. It's amanda@gitlab.com -- sorry about that.
I'm really sorry to hear about the crappy experience you've had with GitLab. If you'd like to detail some more complaints, I'd love to hear them and open some issues about these things. Feel free to shoot me an email…
Since the first part of your comment is addressed to Sasha I'll let her reply to it, but to address the second part: There are multiple people involved in the hiring process here at GitLab, specifically several people…
Totally agree with this. Having to join 10+ Slack-like groups to collaborate on open source projects is unrealistic for me. As a result, I don't frequent some projects' chats and stick to bug trackers/mailing lists --…
Valid point, but there are other things to consider. The reason I buy Windex is because it saves me time. Instead of buying vinegar, lemons, and rubbing alcohol and mixing them together with water every time I want to…
We're in the process of migrating the swag store to another provider. Shoot me an email (see bio) and I'll see what I can do for you in the mean time.
No problem, thanks for clarifying.
Ah, okay. Sounds like they were trying to focus on people with a specific type of experience and not blacklisting people based on a specific employer or anything.
We've actually been trying to back off of HN, but the community posts just about anything that appears on our blog.
Could you elaborate on this? I think DO has a right to hire however they want to but I'm curious about who they're auto-rejecting/why.
I'm in no way suggesting that people spend all of their time at work or have significant overlap between their work friends and after-work friends. However, it's nice to work with people and not robots. Some people can…
That definitely helps. I find there are other little cultural things you miss like inside jokes/shenanigans. They're not work-related but they're related to work and can make you feel like part of the team.
When I say process, I mean some of our operational processes like making sure backups work. There was an incident with data loss last week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13537052 Like any company, we have our own…
Honestly, I haven't seen a company that does the hybrid remote/on-site thing well. I'm sure they exist, but every time I've worked at one the people who were remote were out of the loop on almost everything. Hybrid…
> First, no one has the discipline to write much of anything down. This is why it's baked into the company culture. It's very common for someone to ask where something is in the handbook or if an issue has been created…
Not that this excuses anything, but maybe it'll help explain it: This interview was recorded a little while before the incident when we were unaware of some of the issues we have in process. Now that we're aware, we are…
Hey Deepak, thanks for the feedback. We've built out a UX team and improving that aspect of the product is high on our list of priorities, but please feel free to reach out if you have any specific issues. Happy to…
.com is free -- paying customers/CE users weren't affected by the outage.
Hey Richard, we're actively working on fixing issues on the backend of gitlab.com: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/infrastructure/issues/947 Much of this work isn't front-end work and we have a separate team taking care…
