CEO is having dinner.
I think it's only you and Mr. Prince left from the IPO'd devtools crew, you're the only two I see still kicking around occasionally. But hey, big job so thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your dinner.
Is this a specific group rather than just devtool founders of IPO'd companies? HashiCorp founder Mitchell is still here: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=mitchellh
Anyone else think this is a bit... icky? If you have to game the "system", sorry, I mean, provide "social media guidelines" to this extent, maaaaybe your [whatever you're trying to push/advertise/spread] isn't all that worthwhile...? Especially in the "nerd" world, it seems word of mouth will get out without having to rely on such inane strategizing. I understand that this is just the tip of the iceberg, and other co…
Additionally, a lot of the rules on the page make it more likely that contributions to HN by Gitlab team members offer good community value.

Also, any large company has procedures for PR. It’s a part of life.

1. Other companies probably have similar strategies but it's behind closed doors to act however nefarious they would like, not open docs that can be criticized here publicly like Gitlab has.
2. The MO (modus operandi) here seems entirely about reading customer feedback and engaging with it. That's like YC startup advice numero uno. They explicitly mention not to submit content or get people to upvote.

I’m here.
> If a notification that a release post has reached the Hacker News Front Page is posted to the #developer-evangelism Slack channel by the "Hacker News Front Page" bot, a Developer Evangelism team member should quickly repost the message to the #product and #release-post channels to alert our Product Managers. Why doesn't someone just update the bot to post in those channels as well?

Will be interesting to see if, once stripe goes public Patrick sticks around.
> Never submit GitLab content to Hacker News. Submission gets more credibility if a non-GitLab Hacker News community member posts it, we should focus on making our posts interesting instead of on submitting it. I appreciate this policy, it makes it clear that HN is a place to engage with the community, rather than a free advertising channel. Looking at the CEO's profile, the last time he made a submission about Gitla…
Although I doubt we’ll ever reach that point so I’m wondering if there are other small communities around the web that are just more quality-oriented on the content shared (I just go to niche subreddits and mostly HN)
Hey there, I’m a member of the GitLab Community Relations team. My team is responsible for this page. I shared the page today at a DevRel meetup where OP was presenting on Hacker News. I’m grateful he chose to share it with all of you. Thanks, Dan. If there are ways we can improve how we engage with the HN community, myself and our team would love your feedback.
