Would companies have to worry about their proprietary code being seen and used in a not-so-obvious way? If some start up is working on some novel ML algorithms, that has some nice demos out in the public showcasing their work, I wonder if these bigger companies would take a peek at the source code and use some ideas from the algos for their ml products. This would prevent start-up from expanding into other areas.

Does that happen when you use AWS or Azure? Enterprise is a completely different ball game, be it Microsoft, Google or Amazon.

The amount of value they will get by peeking will be insignificant as compared to the reputation loss they will suffer from enterprise customers.

Ah the GitLab astroturfers are here

I mean, I use gitlab, gitea, github, and bitbucket all fairly regularly for different projects, and I haven't seen anything out of the gitlab posts here that I think is wrong. People disagreeing with you and/or opposing the free offerings of a company known for embrace/extend/extinguish does not mean they're astroturfing.

They spam every GitHub post with “I use gitlab” regardless of the content.

Slinging accusations of astroturfing is against the rules here. Please don't.

Also, while I have you, could you please stop creating accounts for every few comments you post? We ban accounts that do that. This is in the site guidelines too: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

You needn't use your real name, of course, but for HN to be a community, users need some identity for others to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...

Lots of github employees on this site. It's ok, you just work there. No need to get angry.

This breaks the site guidelines, which ask you not to insinuate of astroturfing, and not to feed egregious comments by replying. Also, please don't cross into personal attack. That's bad and not allowed here either.
