She said there would be no issues if it was a legal requirement. But there could be issues if it was a demand by a customer.

The CFO replied it was part of a possible contract.

Completely disagree. Candice Ciresi was extremely professional and seemed to be the only one actually looking out for the company (another example is her stance on the telemetry issue). Many ethical companies would consider hiring her.

Gitlab on the other hand seems to be easily swayed by large contracts and willing to compromise their “remote first” values for money.

It’s also disappointing they don’t have a technical solution to this.

Re:AMD unveils world's most powerful desktop CPUs on Monday November 11, 2019 @12:49PM (#21506918)
I’ve been reading that many of the Ryzen and Threadripper CPUs support ECC ram, but motherboards support is shaky at best. Worst is that some motherboards will boot with ECC but don’t actually use it.

Does anyone have any concrete experience?

I wad hoping to build a workstation with ECC memory, but it appears only the EYPC cpus have certified support for ECC.

The Xeon W appears to be the most cost effective for guaranteed ECC memory.
