How would you rate your GitLab CI skills on a scale of one to ten?

The assessment of GitLab CI skills on a ten-point scale is subjective and depends on experience and depth of knowledge.

If we talk about the junior or middle level, the following criteria can be used:

• 1-3 points: basic understanding, able to create simple .gitlab-ci.yml with a few jobs.
• 4-6 points: able to set up pipelines with multiple stages, use environment variables, artifacts, caching.
• 7-8 points: experience writing complex pipelines with conditions, parallel jobs, Docker integration, deployment.
• 9-10 points: deep understanding of all GitLab CI features, pipeline optimization, writing custom executors, integration with external systems.

If you confidently create and maintain pipelines, understand the main concepts, and can solve typical tasks — an assessment of about 6-7 points would be appropriate.
