It never occurred to me that a rebuttal to "not using lines of code or bugs solved because it can be gamed" is just to point out productivity is literally always gamed

gravy commented on Ask HN: What do you want for Christmas?    · Posted by u/gravy

Wanting to be given things for Christmas is a little silly when you're an adult, I think. I anticipate my parents will buy me the clothing I never bother to buy for myself because I just couldn't care less about clothes.

I'm pretty weird about gifts though I guess. I feel like the concept of giving gifts on certain days is largely a product of cultural manipulation by the wider corporate sphere, so I just don't ever feel obligated, and make it clear to others that they not feel obligated, to give gifts on Christmas or birthdays. I buy gifts for people when they need something and won't or can't buy it themselves regardless of the time of year. Or sometimes just if I know they'll like it. I'm privileged enough to have more money than I need, so I don't really need or expect others to buy me anything.

I almost decided to preface this with "for those of you who can just buy what you want..."

Culturally at GitLab we use numbered lists so that it makes it easy to link and reference someone to a spot on the page.

see https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/communication/#writing-sty... number 13:

If you have multiple points in a comment or email, please number them. Numbered lists are easier to reference during a discussion over bulleted lists.

Should it be 1-3?

Please hire me as QA.

Edit: Anyways I like this. Love the idea of companies taking over for helping out the underrepresented in their ranks. This is a natural progression from remote work.
