Hiiiiiiii, GitLab team member and author of the blog post here. Both excited and terrified to be on HN, honestly - what a honor! * Totally agree that the Makefile was a high bar of entry right at the beginning. Since…
Hiiiiii :) GitLab team member and the author of the blog post here. After reading your comment, we swapped out the photo so that no one else would have such an unsettling experience! I liked the compass photo, so I feel…
Another GitLab team member here :) Thanks again for the feedback! We've updated the image in the blog post: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2023/07/05/beautifying-of-our-....
Hey, GitLab team member here. We have a high level roadmap for FY24 in our handbook[1] and our OKRs are listed publicly[2] so you can see our vision for the product and what we're working on. [1]…
I saw in another comment that you use the avatar images for fake user accounts that are as realistic as possible - that's pretty cool. Coming back to what you noticed about the personas page. Another GitLab team member…
Hey, GitLab team member here :) Thanks for mentioning a possible bug! I looked over the page to check and get it fixed, but it looks like Eddie and Dana are listed in the Table of Contents, but under "Internal Personas"…
Oh that's cool, the ODS (Ontario Digital Service) also published their personas as a part of their user research guide: https://www.ontario.ca/page/personas
For the first time in many years, I have a manager who doesn't cancel 1:1s, provides us autonomy to do our work, and gives specific feedback. Our 1:1 structure is based off the CEO's suggested 1:1 format[1] and was…
Hi, GitLab team member here :) GitLab has some project visibility settings that you can utilize to control visibility and prevent users from publishing repos to the public:…
GitLab team member here :) There were recent changes to user limits on the Free tier of GitLab SaaS. We are limiting the number of users per namespace on the Free tier to 5 users per namespace. Details are in this blog…
That sounds really great, good luck with that! I will definitely keep an eye on Booqsi, a social feed sounds really nice :) Storygraph seems to be attempting something similar with the pair reads, but it feels a bit…
Yes, sorry! I may have phrased that incorrectly - I meant exporting your Goodreads data and importing them into Booqsi (which Storygraph allows you to do, though it can take some time).
Booqsi looks really pretty and I love that it supports local bookstores! Are there plans to support imports from Goodreads? I know many people who have curated their shelves for years so that might be an important…
- The Five Dysfunctions of a Team Was a really helpful and great book to help put in words some of the challenges I faced on a previous team (while I had an absent manager).
And/or competitive programing challenges and time yourself if that makes it more fun for you.
I love these! Adding some follow-up questions: To better understand the attrition rate: - Who is the team made up of - internal transfers or external hires? - How long have the current team members been on the team? -…
Omg, we had the remotes too and they often broke or stopped working and we had to get them replaced via the company that was contracted. Eventually, my teachers stopped using them because they were more trouble than…
Yeah, sadly :( I tried to join a few times, but the game crashes when you join a lobby.
Agree :) it's got that fun and memorable quality. I spent hours on this game when I was working in web dev and had a project using flexbox.
I think accessibility is critical for websites, but whether or not it makes business sense depends on the organization and its audience. I've worked for municipal government in the US and federal in Canada. In the US,…
This is true! A leave of absence and a break could help a lot to reset their headspace. Some companies offer a mental health leave with documentation from a psychologist and it remains confidential. I also think OP…
Ahhh, that's it! I've been wondering why I prefer it to wordle and why it's more fun to solve.
Oh! I didn't realize you could reuse components, thank you!! I'm still banging my head through my first Nerdle, despite being challenging it's pretty fun!
hahahaha. Mine too! I'm really glad it doesn't just throw you into a conversation. That "click anywhere to start" is critical.
Oh yeah, that makes sense! I remember a point when I used to hear my phone vibrate somewhere in the room, but when I checked, there weren't notifications. I still feel like I have too many notifications in general,…
