GitLab 8.0 released with new looks and integrated CI
 This is my experience in GitLab application as developer.
After my application I received an email like this:<p><i>The code you linked to is all quite basic, could you give me an example of some more complex 
Ruby code worked on, so that I can make an assessment of your ability in that regard.</i><p>There are many developers better that me, but I never say to other developers during an hiring process ' your code is all quite basic', it is not elegant. 
I have commits in ruby on rails framework but sure there are many developers better than me!
But understand under the wood of a complex framework like rails is not very simple, for me :)
Anyway I send some part of my last works and that was the response:<p><i>I have reviewed your application and regret to inform you that it has not been selected for  further
consideration, because I don't think your Ruby/Rails skill is currently at the level that we
require.</i><p>Yes probably it's sure but maybe 'your skill do not fit with our requirements'  or ' we're looking for an more experienced developer' ?
I think that in two mails like that, there is a lot of arrogance that not match with open source mentality.<p>P.S.
I think that gitlab is a great product, it's just my experience in application process.
