It was more than an announcement. They cutoff access to gitlab and broke automated workflows. It shows that they don't know their customer base that well if they were willing to do…

My questions come from the fact that you, and others from Gitlab, are coming out of the woodwork in groups in response to public negativity and trying to play it cool, eg "wanna". …

Ah. Is that any different from a "Fulfillment Center Ambassador"?

Has anyone at gitlab told you to post here? The level of defensiveness reminds me a lot of the creepy Amazon fulfilment center twitter accounts. Edit: Why the downvotes? It's a ser…

I used to work at Bank of America as a level 2 app analyst back when they first started building Quartz. At the time, it was advertised internally as a system to be used for report…

You okay?

This isn't my experience with just a single job. This is my experience in the perspective of a sysadmin/SRE/devops "track". Maybe it's different for programmers, but the overall sp…

No need to be patronizing.

This field fucking sucks. I'm tired of being on call 24/7/365. I'm tired of having to explain why plaintext passwords are bad. I'm tired of being taken advantage of for being a gen…

Does this count for backups, too?

You're suggesting that Facebook is 100% accurate in determining whether a name is real, or a pseudonym. Imagine this: someone is on Facebook and wants to hide their identity for so…

Troll post? This would either imply that Facebook has 100% valid identity checks or that 100% of people are honest about their identity.
