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 …

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 per…

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 …

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…

- 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 cur…

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 …

Yeah, sadly :( I tried to join a few times, but the game crashes when you join a lobby.
