This is standard stuff for a growing company. Right down to the disillusionment of the rank and file. I'm curious if anyone in the HN community has worked for a > 500 person company with a flat structure. What a lot of commenters seemed to miss is that the remote work policy applies exclusively to senior managers. Senior managers are no longer allowed to live afar and must report to the office. These are the people t…

HN seems to have a white-male persecution complex. No one here is talking about the interesting parts of the story: " 10 or more executives have departed in recent months. " " In addition to previously reported executive departures, Business Insider has learned that Ryan Day, VP of business development; Adam Zimman, senior director of technology partnerships; and Scott Buxton, controller, have all left in the last si…

We tried to switch. After few days devs make a note on the table "X days without GitLab being down". X always was < 2.

been using gitlab for the past two years at work and the only time it's inaccessible is when upgrading it. it does have a lot of other issues like response time and a difficult to navigate ui but crashing is not one of them.

What version are you on? Since GitLab 8.0 great improvements have been made to the UI and if there is something still wrong on the latest version we would love to know.

I guess I will say the thing that is hard to talk about, but I must: What does Nicole Sanchez know? Everybody knows Hispanics are too lazy to achieve anything great.

We've banned this account for obvious reasons. There are strong feelings all around, so we try to assume good faith, but no one gets to use HN as a dumping ground for the ugly bits of their id.

Anything we can improve in GitLab to make getting shit done easier?

I'm in the process of moving all my stuff to gitlab.com. There's a lot of stuff going on in the sidebar and it took a while for me to figure out where things were. The mobile experience was also not amazing . If you would like to take this conversation offline, I'd be happy to. I like Gitlab so far, although I'm only 5% in to my "migration" process.

The mobile views for sure needs some work, we're hiring frontend engineers https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/ and on Friday we hired a second person.

If you need any help please email support@gitlab.com and reference this comment.

But commenting online is encouraged, all of our issues are public.

The current dominant themes in certain feminism & diversity cliques in our community are openly hostile towards me. I'm a male. I'm white. I'm middle class. I'm heterosexual. I'm also a leader. I'm a parent of two daughters. My mother had to fight sexism issues in her career. I am supportive of inclusion & diversity. I am trying to raise my girls to be empowered, confident & curious. But the dominant themes in curren…

I don't understand how people can seriously claim that these are "current dominant themes". I studied at UC Berkeley, one of the liberal capitals of California. Most of my friends are Berkeley students. Most of my friends are feminists . There's practically no hostility (as you put it) towards white, heterosexual males in these circles. I have never been personally attacked or felt uncomfortable. Most of the discussi…

did you even read op's article? look at the slides

I wonder which startup will chomp off this new sourcefor-- I mean, Github. I know, totally different companies at this point, but this shift marks me seeing GH as a completely different entity from what it used to be, and I don't look forward to what kind of company they'll become in the future. Kind of disappointing to read about the changes. None of them sound good.

i think that is fine by GH. i mean, it's clear that the $$ is in enterprise, not in selling $9/month plans to hobbyists. someone else will step up to fill the void.

All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing. The reason why this narrative is doing so well is because they've scared everyone else into ducking for cover instead of speaking up. If we don't fight back, we are surrendering to this tyranny. History doesn't have to play out in any one way. Our culture of individualism and freedom is not guaranteed to survive.

bitbucket server (used to be called stash) has practically no search capability. it's the underappreciated killer feature of github IMO

We've recently started using it at work and the lack of profiles and graphs (without paying for oddly priced plugins) is quite unfortunate as well. It was quite disappointing, especially since Gitlabs was on the table as an option but we opted for Bitbucket since we added JIRA a couple years ago. If the smart people here have any suggestions on how to make Bitbucket look more line GitHub, I'd love to hear.

Sorry to hear GitLab was not the choice. For anybody reading this: GitLab CE and EE have great JIRA support, see http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/project_services/jira.html
