Unless you need to record sound, noise cancelling headphones are much more cost effective. If you do need to record sound, directional microphones and noise shields for them are a little more practical.

These two issues illustrate that GitLab has a quality control problem. If devs aren't dog fooding these features, the community should be given more time to beta test them before the APIs are declared stable.

You can't actually build EE from source. The license "key" is a block of code and if you've never payed for one, you don't know the format. Dev versions of these licenses are restricted to GitLab employees only, eve

No where on the site do I see how to use these tools in my development environment. Even searching the topic produces no results. A quick browse of your GitHub does not lead to any obvious entry point for developing with Observable locally.
