Kiss of death for Gitlab? A temporary bump in profits while being technically assimilated by Google due to a significant portion of profits being directly dependent on Google? Now people who don't want to contribute to Microsoft training data sets on Github and escaped to Gitlab will be forced to contribute to Google's training data or forced to migrate elsewhere.

There's no point in migrating to avoid ai training, OpenAI is going to train on every line of code out there, no matter which platform.

I think my productivity would 2x or 3x if gitlab would work on fixing issues with core features such as task planning. There's a lot of minimum viable features that never got improved, especially for those of us on the premium tier. AI sound cool but at this point I'm just expecting another half baked feature that checks boxes for executives to justify purchasing it.

Task planning doesn't increase shareholder value.

I fear this is going to be the cause of the slow death of gitlab. They over-promised on far too many features and have underdelivered with many half baked products and MVPs that have been left to rot. I like the product and the company but they clearly tried to do too much in order to gain market share. GitHub needs competition so it would be great for GitLab to thrive, but the state of the product worries me.

> GitLab is working with Google Cloud because of its strong commitment to privacy Right. I guess they'll also deal with Qualcomm for their strong commitment to openness, and Russia for its strong commitment to democracy.

You're implying that GCP somehow does not keep customers' data private. Do you have evidence for this?

They're implying that the Google brand has such a terrible reputation in terms of privacy that anything touched by it - even if it's just the name - is not trustworthy in many people's eyes. And privacy violations can't be reversed, by the time you have tangible evidence it's too late.

At this point Google is mainly known as online tracking company which loves to cancel projects, and they put a lot of effort into building this image to a point an observer can get the impression it's not an accident.

How would you fix it?

I understand your frustration. I recently switched from gitlab to gitea[1] because the feature set is pretty damn close to github and has much more sane UI in comparison to gitlab

> GitLab plans to improve its customers' DevSecOps workflow efficiency by 10x, by applying AI-assisted workflows 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 team member here. Thanks for your feedback. I'm curious about what kind of mistakes were made with the Kubernetes Operator [0]? Maybe there are open issues to learn more about your concerns? Thanks! [0] https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/operator.html

I was thinking of https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gl-openshift/gitlab-runner-ope... - apparantly that has been fixed, a variety of other problems at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gl-openshift/gitlab-runner-ope... prevent installing any upgrades.

Yup, it's "funny" that even basic functionality doesn't work as expected: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/350662

I encounter this issue pretty often and it makes code review experience miserable. It's not blocking any work, but it is frustrating enough that for any new project I would try to avoid using Gitlab
