Gitlab is a great service and a great alternative to github and bitbucket. But it has been quite flaky over many years and it's quite surprising they haven't prioritised system stability over everything else. https://twitter.com/gitlabstatus

Gitlab has been a fully remote proponent going back a few years and these persistent reliability issues add some doubt to that model - even if there might be altogether other issues in play.

My guess is it has to do with their prioritization of only hiring people with "significant ruby/rails" experience. Kills a lot of the talent pool, which doesn't make sense as easy is it is is to pick up a new high level language and framework.

Fully remotes has nothing to do with it.

My company is full remote and we don't have these issue.

Agreed. Blaming a remote work culture is a complete non sequitur.
