Hiiiiiiii, GitLab team member and author of the blog post here. Both excited and terrified to be on HN, honestly - what a honor! * Totally agree that the Makefile was a high bar of entry right at the beginning. Since we're working with

Hiiiiii :) GitLab team member and the author of the blog post here. After reading your comment, we swapped out the photo so that no one else would have such an unsettling experience! I liked the compass photo, so I feel a bit silly that I d

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 personas page. Another GitLab team member (u/john_cog

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 Contents, but under "Internal Personas" (assuming

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's suggested 1:1 format[1] and was something I put

That sounds really great, good luck with that! I will definitely keep an eye on Booqsi, a social feed sounds really nice :) Storygraph seems to be attempting something similar with the pair reads, but it feels a bit clunky and isn't th

Yes, sorry! I may have phrased that incorrectly - I meant exporting your Goodreads data and importing them into Booqsi (which Storygraph allows you to do, though it can take some time).

Booqsi looks really pretty and I love that it supports local bookstores! Are there plans to support imports from Goodreads? I know many people who have curated their shelves for years so that might be an important feature for them to switch

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 because they were more trouble than they were worth.

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

I think accessibility is critical for websites, but whether or not it makes business sense depends on the organization and its audience. I've worked for municipal government in the US and federal in Canada. In the US, following Section

This is true! A leave of absence and a break could help a lot to reset their headspace. Some companies offer a mental health leave with documentation from a psychologist and it remains confidential. I also think OP could use some change at
