You have the right level of cynicism, but you should instead direct it at the field of DevSecOps as a whole. 98% of "SecOps" is utterly pointless boxchecking for ass-covering security certifications which waste immense amounts of time and enforce nothing meaningful. You could ABSOLUTELY 10x workflow efficiency there by plumbing the codebase for questions like: "What are all the OSS libraries you use, and the licenses…

Do you really need AI for that or a grep? Lol

Grep is an AI!

Now excuse me because I have to finish my startup deck.

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.

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 [1] https://gitea.io

I ran a Gitea instance for myself for a while in the past. But I never tried to set up CI with it. Does Gitea support having CI pipelines run for MRs and merges etc, like GitHub and GitLab does? Didn’t see any mention of CI from a very cursory glance at current docs.

Anyone here have set up CI pipelines with Gitea? What was your experience like? Did you make any CI pipelines for Rust code doing things like checking cargo audit, and running cargo clippy, cargo fmt, etc? As well as CI pipelines to automate building and deployment?

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 bui…

literally FUD. do you have anything substantial to show with respect to GCP privacy violations?

Your skepticism is backwards.

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.

The recent Shopify memo re "Main Quests" and "Side Quests" applies. I'm hopeful GitLab can turn it around, but at this point it feels like GitLab might be going the way of Jira.

Since this comment intrigued me, this is the other HN post that the above memo refers to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35813763 which links to the Shopify blogpost: https://news.shopify.com/important-team-and-business-changes

Cheers for highlighting it!

Hey - I'm the PM for our Code Review group. Sorry to see you're running in to that issue, it's been a real challenge for us. If you're running in to it pretty often, it'd be great if you could provide some details on what steps you're taking (maybe even record a video) to help us figure out what's going on. For lots of bugs, the hardest thing for us to do is reproduce them... so if you've got a reliable way to do tha…

Maybe you should read the comments on the issue first.

Its unfortunate, but just fixing and making an existing product awesome has lower ROI than implementing good-enough features that your competitor has. It may sound stupid, but works business wise.

Sounds like a deal to train vertex ai on enterprise codebase in the name of privacy and security. This doesn’t look like a natural partnership to me.

Needs source. Neither Github, Gitlab, AWS, Azure, or GCP legally trains anything on enterprise codebase. If they do, it would be illegal.

How was Github Co pilot trained? None of these companies have revealed their sources. But we still know OpenAI itself trained on the google C4 and Pile databases. Who knows maybe even SciHub aswell. We have moved way past asking, well that is illegal zone. As you might know Pile has over 2 million pirated books in it and it is easily downloadable even after bookzz was confiscated by FBI.

They have their own tld, .goog, they could surely have put the website under their instead to at least gain some trust, instead of the current abomination of a domain. Or, you know, just use subdomains which has existed since forever...

Subdomains don't solve the problem, because Google very much intentionally puts the user session cookie on the root of .google.com, thereby sharing with all subdomains.

The tld he is talking about is different though right?
