They need to make sure not to give it terminal access. It might delete a DB or something from prod [1]. It took a lot of effort to write this with a straight face. Ultimately, I failed. [1] https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2017/02/01/gitlab-dot-com-data...

While this is indeed a very bad incident, this is also 6 years old at this point. Assuming that nothing has changed or was learnt since that incident is a pretty uncharitable reading.

Gitlab is not a charity.

They need to earn their trust like everyone else.

Losing data is a big failure. I can see why folks would remember it.

How about GitLab fix the most elemental mistakes they have made with the k8s operator for GitLab runner instead of... whatever the hell this is?

Gitlab cannot compete alone with Github copilot and their other AI offerings, so they bring in Google. Smart, if obvious, move.

Also, Google lost the bid on Github when MS acquired them and Gitlab is the next best thing for them to partner with. Of course "Explain this vulnerability" does not exactly sound like a compelling use case. This press release is hot garbage that adds to Google's problems instead of solving them by being bland, vague, hand wavy, and unspecific. I think MS has a the vastly superior play here with e.g. co-pilot, partne…

GitLab team member here. Thanks for your feedback!

I have added your suggestion with MR/PR to remediate security vulnerabilities to the feedback issue [0] for the explain this vulnerability feature. The issue is linked from the blog post that provides more details [1].

Github gets bought by MS, GitLab gets bought by Google. Who gets bought by Amazon?

aws is building their own thing at the moment.

Why would they ever buy Gitlab?

When Microsoft bought Github, they bought a platform. GitLab however, is just software, as gitlab.com is absolutely tiny compared to github.

Maybe GCP, Azure and AWS could pull together the text to train a language model to tell us how to deal with their fucking stupid UIs and arcane terminology. I dread having to use their cloud portals. How do you find a VM by IP address in Azure? that kind of thing.

Use the APIs

Bizarre choice for a domain huh, googlecloudpresscorner.com… With all the domains in the world, they pick one that almost looks fake. Why not presscorner.google.com?

I think it's due to cookies. That's why there's e.g. googleusercontent.com, ggpht.com etc. That way if users find a way to upload malicious content (or e.g. blog is compromised) you can't get users' Google cookies

I'm kind of surprised Google would even bother with cookies these days, as there are so many other ways to track users.

If only there was some sort of system of domain names that could be used to indicate the demarcation points...
