Hi There, I am so sorry to hear that you've been waiting so long for a response. Our recruiting team, which includes myself, is trying to improve the application process and applicant experience. If you wouldn't be opposed, please reach out to me directly at sasha@gitlab.com and I will investigate what has happened and make sure you get feedback promptly. Understanding what has happened in your case is super valuable so that we make sure we can correct this in the future.

I hope to hear from you soon so we can get to the bottom of this!

I interviewed, we did some JS problem solving in a Google Doc and I even taught the Lead UI person, who was interviewing me, a feature to solve a problem that he had not seen before. Thought that was great then, they said "no" and would not explain why.

Sorry about that. We try to give direct feedback to applicants, especially when asked for. I'll share your comment with the lead UI person.

Gitlab has a lead UI person but no UI. Interesting. What he/she's doing then?

Yes, everything is just a toolbar of tabs. Gitlab should revisit the UI with an empty blank slate with the constraint that there is almost everyone out there accustomed to using the other Hub.

Either be incrementally better than the Hub in UX or come up with a UX that developers wanted but never knew they wanted.

Hi inyorgroove. Sorry you did not receive feedback from me. I always try and give meaningful feedback. Feel free to send me an email, I would be happy talk over the examples we talked about in more depth.
