Middle-school tier politics, I like that.

This one wonders where Bitbucket plays into this, but I'm guessing they're out?

Serious question to any psychologists/sociologists lurking- why are women in engineering roles usually somewhat overweight?

Are you sure that's really the case? I haven't noticed such a trend.

This actually looks great for job candidate coding exercises. You can guide them through working out some problems, and validate each step with an Action. Neat!

This is just lovely for newcomers to Git. Great little mascot, too.

Indeed does look great, was only hoping the mascot would be a Labrador, though :D

Last couple of years have been really great for newcomers to any kind of tech really. Resources like this Learning Lab, freecodecamp, react.games etc. have really opened up a lot of avenues for anyone to learn how to code - no experience required!

I can only hope that this results in better developers entering the workforce few years from now.

A Very good SEO move, to stir some of the 'lab' traffic away from gitlab.

Reminds me of when Rise Against wrote Architects, which prompted Architects to write a song called Rise Against.
