Just use blocking/non-blocking.

The issue with nitpicks: different reviewers have different definitions of what a "nit" is.

This is a delightful reverse turkey graph (each day before Thanksgiving, the turkey has increasing confidence).

GitLab employee here. We have completed the move away from Gollum years ago (see https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2381).

It looks like that doc https://docs.gitlab.com/development/wikis/ was outdated - since fixed to no longer mention Gollum.

If anyone is interested in this - checkout Richard Behiel's video on this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sj_GSBaUE1o

It is fantastically long, but still fascinating !

I think you are ascribing too much into this. If he does not believe anything then there will be nothing to write about. It looks like he does not believe in _your_ ideals - that does not make it nihilism though.

I work from New Zealand, for a quite geographically distributed team. For our team, the solution is partly:

    1. "Write everything down" culture.
    2. Rotate the regular meetings. For example, a meeting around 1000 UTC for Europe / Asia folks on Monday. Repeat the same meeting at 2000 UTC for US / Asia folks.
    3. Write good notes for each meeting, so people who could not attend can review asynchronously.

2x meetings may not work for a truly distributed team where you have people all over the world. In which you will need to have 3x rotating meetings which becomes a bit harder to manage.

DST changes do happen every six months, or so. We mostly roll with it, and adjust the meeting times as necessary.
