"Thank you for making the market and setting the price for our eventual acquisition by Google" is what I read between the lines.
Google just shut down a code hosting service, what would they want with GitLab?
Also a CI pipeline that integrates seamlessly with Google Cloud Kubernetes engine.
Yikes. How untasteful. Nothing official yet but they're hurrying up writing some completely bullshit post to let people know that Github is being acquired by "M$" and hopefully migrate to them. The last paragraph says it all, "look at how we're different". Frankly, why not just be honest and make this point directly. No need for the "we congratulate Github - Git is so important" oohs and aahs. We're not morons.
Perhaps, the team thought Make Hay while the sunshines - but Sun might set for them!
We do not know who the acquirer officially is yet. They are also assuming that MS has already ruined GitHub.
Based on what we have seen in the last few years from Microsoft, they are very serious about not messing up when it comes to developer tools and the ecosystem.
They are also showing a huge capacity for working across platforms and being supportive of the community as a whole. I don't know where the pieces fall, but this was in poor taste.
Not good GitLab.
What a lame post. Considering Microsoft's history, I would have expected something less generic, more opinionated, and stronger in statement about its own future. I did like Gitlab and its features, but THIS post makes me reconsider and makes me want to switch to alternatives with an actual community that cares, like Gitea.
So far the only legitimate complaints I've seen are:
1) The acquisition hasn't been announced yet (OK, what makes that "trashy"?)
2) This is opportunistic advertising (OK, what makes that "trashy"?)
