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 GitL…

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 …

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've actually experienced this exact thing. Usually a refresh fixes it for me so I never gave it too much thought. I'm not sure what causes it exactly but I'll follow up with the t…

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 th…

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 a…

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 s…

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 tog…

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 …

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 f…

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=135…

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…

> 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 ha…

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 i…
