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. Gitlabs response is always that they don't have capacity/manpower to implement it, yet they're able to implement crap like this?

Anyone using this? We use a self-hosted Gitlab for 5 years now and had to upgrade to premium after they killed the basic version. Now I would essentially have to double my spending (again) for this new feature.

Just curious: Why not use GitLab Community Edition? At least for me, it had everything I wanted. (Due to feature creep, I no longer use it.)

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

I don’t know if this is half-assed. But the presentation certainly is.

    Why Gitlab Duo : AI :sparkles:

GitLab team member here. Thanks for your feedback.

GitLab Duo provides AI-assisted features in the DevSecOps lifecycle. GitLab Duo Chat was released as GA last week [0] Code Suggestions are GA, too, and help with code completion and generation [1] The documentation provides more insights on availability and usage [2]

Helpful learning resources:

If you are looking for practical examples and prompt tips for Duo Chat, bookmark this longer tutorial "10 best practices for using AI-powered GitLab Duo Chat" in [3]

We have also updated the documentation to add hands-in GitLab Duo examples for different programming languages and environments, helping with how to integrate AI into your workflows efficiently: [4]

At QCon London 2024 two weeks ago, I spoke about "Efficient DevSecOps workflows with a little help from AI." The slides are publicly available at [5], talk summary in [6]

I also recommend the blog post "How to put generative AI to work in your DevSecOps environment" [7] to tackle important questions such as workflow assessments, AI guardrails and how to measure AI impact in your organization.

Last but not least, I started a learning series called "GitLab Duo Coffee Chat" on YouTube [8], showing AI and GitLab Duo in action. I plan to host more sessions in the coming weeks. [9]

Happy to help with more adoption questions, best practices, and development workflows :-)

GitLab team member here. This is a typo. Will be fixed shortly. Thanks.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

And Safari

And mobile chrome

They used the UTF-8 char `U+2028` to separate `with` and `AI`. This is the LINE SEPARATOR character. How it should be rendered is a good question.
