This makes sure that if someone has not solved home assignment with other's help.

dksidana··on GitLab Master Plan
Agreed but looks like GitLab is trying to avoid integration route in favour of building that component in the product itself.
dksidana··on GitLab Master Plan
It will be great if they add communication tool like slack/hipchat in their master plan.
