I don't know why people on hacker news are against transparency. I'm glad you guys are live streaming this, others would feel too inadequate to do so. Being this transparent only makes me want to use (and contribute to) gitlab even more.


I'm guessing they feel strongly about getting singled out if something like this would happen to them. Possibly because they have been used as a scapegoat by a employer or team mate once.

I hope you'll be there when someone doesn't hire the person responsible for their mistake so you can vouch for them.

You don't have radical transparency because the world is not the understanding meritocracy you think it is. There is no value to the employee for having radical transparency in a post mortem.

It appears to be only a couplefew people on HN who have a real problem with it, so maybe temper your generalizations in a way that they aren't.
