That can hardly be blamed on GitLab though. The setting to make something public is clearly named "public", and the description is: > The project can be accessed without any authentication. Meanwhile, Jira almost seems to aim f

At some point companies like Fast Company have to accept that they are a significant part of the problem, and just writing articles about it is not enough. This page contains a ridiculous number of trackers. The site pulls in content from t
