Gitlab has been pretty great so far, but the code review tooling is so poor I think I need to look elsewhere. The pull request pages take forever to load, they can't handle pull requests with over 800 lines well at all. It will collapse files with over 100-200 lines of changes for seemingly no reason (hiding the comments within them). You can't ignore whitespace in diffs, and the comments disappear from the diff if they push new commits, you need to look at them in the overview again.

#32How did GitLab track and create this diagram? Is there a service that does it automatically?
See https://app.diagrams.net/ -- you'll recognize the style.
I use the same service, but I always knew it as draw.io. Never noticed when they started redirecting to this domain.
This is very valuable to me as a Linux user in a Microsoft Platinum partner org because I can't run Visio natively.

can such a diagram be generated using text markup ? i want to have this in revision control and then generate this in a static page (Nextjs or Gatsbyjs)

#35Marketo eh? My wife mentioned wanting that in her small business after seeing a shiny video but I said the price is probably not going to be appropriate (some research seemed to support this). Does anyone have experience using it? I have mixed feelings about Adobe but don't know how much influence they wield.

I can relate. We use GitLab at our company.
I still think the merge request UI is great. Its main problems are its slowness and the fact that files with a long diff are collapsed. As the full merge request is quite slow, I will usually open the diff of each commit one by one, then put review comments as a "per commit" basis.

People still have kids who’d normally go to school, family to take care of, etc.

Yeah, this is definitely one of GitLab's weakest points at the moment and seriously impacts day-to-day work here as well. Simple features like ticking off files you've already reviewed are missing and even mid-sized MRs are a pain to review even on a beefy machine.

#40Why is salesforce the center of attention?
How much money do you wager that Salesforce license costs? I know there's the whole build-vs-buy debate, but with the cost of Salesforce, might it not be better to just stick everything in a database and throw a MySQL WYSIWYG tool like phpmyadmin in front in order to let non-engineers see the schema and build forms? I suppose if you're earning money hand over fist (or keep getting VC funds) then the cost of your Sale…
