Congrats on the raise. Interesting to use to API logs to provide better debugging and support. Can you give an example?

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with this. The importer can still get better but we're importing about 500 projects per hour at peak https://www.dropbox.com/s/hr3ndcmu21aehmk/Screenshot%202019-...

At GitLab we already have a package stage and support Docker, npm, and C packages. More are in the works. GitLab can also work as a proxy to upstream registers for performance and in the future for security.

I don't. We had a few hires new to Ruby and I think it took them much longer to get up to speed and more of them never got up to full speed.

This probably has to do with local regulations. For example (this might be part of our reasons to hire there) in Spain all employees now have to clock in and out https://elpais.com/elpais/2019/05/13/ineng

I think contributing to GitLab itself would send the strongest signal of the three things mentioned. Please note that this isn't required, we hire a lot of people who never contributed to GitLab before getting hired. I've asked ou

I try to say open core software (some of it is proprietary) and that is what we try to use in our website and blog posts. Sometimes I mess up and sometimes the journalist prefers a more common term.

We got 100,000 users of the open source distribution before we introduced a paid one. In the first year that Dmitriy made the open source distribution (and I didn't even know it existed) 200 people contributed to GitLab and probably 10
