We quote a lot of responses from HN but that doesn’t mean it’s the only thing that led us to this decision. I was personally involved in a lot of private conversations about this, with the executive team, with investors and with people who had gone through this exercise before, and they all had as much if not more impact on our final decision than the HN thread did. It’s just harder to quote them than referencing additional (& similar) opinions noted in a public forum.
- Dangeranger 10y agoThat is good to hear. My comment was not meant as a negative criticism of your process, although I can see how it could be interpreted that way. It was intended more as an observation about the openness that Gitlab brings to the process of design and decision.
- timanglade 10y agoNo worries! I didn’t perceive your comment as negative at all — I just took it as an opportunity to clarify something that we should have made more clear in the blogpost itself really. Thanks for bringing this up and for doing so in a constructive way!
