I've interviewed with GitLab when I first changed my career into software engineering, a few years ago. It was a bad call in my opinion since I'm not as good as I thought back then.

However, is it a good idea to apply again since that was a long while ago and I've accumulated a considerable amount of experience compared to what I was?

And can you do your own independent security research when you're working for GitLab? What's GitLab's stance of this situation?

It'll be nice if you can post your/a recruiter's email ID here - I'd like to send over a couple more questions.


Thank you for your post and questions. We would welcome you to apply for a role at GitLab that looks interesting to you. Our guideline for security researchers is that if you are a GitLab employee, you would not be eligible for a bounty award through our public bug bounty program. Other than that, independent security research is fine, as long as it does not call out our customers in a negative manner. Here is our hiring page: https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/faq/

Does hwupd work with Thinkpads?


I had an mid-2015 which battery did swollen after 8 months of usage. It bulged the trackpad towards the screen and making a dent. Apple does count that as part of in-warranty repair though.

A very expansive battery repair for Apple.

By the way, their repair would take longer than an entire week, which is worse than most laptops vendors.


Can you elaborate more?



That’s what we need, plus lots of incoming webhooks and bot interface. We don’t even use Slack’s video/voice call — It simply doesn’t work very well.


How did you migrate then? Do you have years of chat history before?

Also, can you compare about efficiency of communication in both?


I’ve been told otherwise; Is this full repair policy a “by-country” thinng?


Beside some softwares only exists on macOS, Dell and Lenovo (if not concerned about its Chinese background) makes good ultrabooks which is on-par with Macbook Pro these days.

Plus, repairability & without keyboard which would break on particle ingress.


In Apple's defense, the newest keyboards no longer suffer from the particle ingress issue, and they're genuinely more pleasant to type on.


Does anything works correctly? e.g. buiilding with xcode?
