A half-assed feature nobody asked for? In my Gitlab?! Unbelievable!! On a serious note, wtf Gitlab? Every once in a while I get an email notification from a feature request I subscribed to (that has been open for years) because yet another large premium customer requests that it be implemented.

Are your features potentially new revenue streams? This is. Or at least they believe it can be.

I'm sure their investors believe announcing something with "AI" will increase the value.

Is this the thing that keeps sending me pointless AI summaries of code reviews that people have made in our project?

Meanwhile all of the fancy security features, for which we pay a massive premium as they're only included in the Ultimate tier, are completely broken and I have to keep explaining to my team members why GitLab keeps falsely insisting their merge requests are full of security vulnerabilities.

Back to self hosting my code. Side note: Gitlab is one of the few companies to provide a self hosted version of their VCS. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/install/requirements.html Also gitea is a much more lightweight option and can use sqlite for db. Much easier to deploy on a rpi

Soft serve is lighter still.

What's with the fading on each element while scrolling? Make the page impossible to fast-read or scan for important points. ...maybe that's the reason?

I wrote a (satirical?) blog post about this behavior: https://candid.dev/blog/becoming-an-ai-company/

Every company seems to be throwing their backlog away and focusing on adding AI features no one asked for. Could be a lot of opportunity for startups that actually listen to their end users to gain some traction instead of chasing GenAI.

From that page:

> Will my code be used for training AI models?

> GitLab does not train generative AI models based on private (non-public) data. The vendors we work with also do not train models based on private data.

So they will steal your code if it is public, ignoring license. Understood.

Ooh this is very nice. Might use this for private projects.

Problem with this is that it’s likely very unfamiliar with most folks. At least with gitea or gl-ce, there’s a familiar interface 99% of developers can use to browse and search code.

Like if I want to share a quick nixOS config, I doubt most people would even be willing to pull the code and only browse via web interface.

Are you concerned at all about the raspi’s sd card corrupting/failing? I’d feel like this would always be at the back of my mind
