We would be giving them tens of thousands a year but they don't want our money. So we use the free version.

#82The fully remote approach may have hit its limits.
I wonder if we can compare remote vs in person companies across industries and see stock price deltas across the last 2 years.

#83Gitlab pricing used to be something like $4/mo and they saw incredible growth. They raised their rates to $19/mo and now are seeing slow growth. In April they are raising to $29/mo- not sure what they think is going to happen. Also, for anyone that actively watches, they have to wonder if there will be another price hike once you are on their platform. Github Enterprise is only $21/mo and for most users it has all th…
Unless Actions has gotten a lot more fleshed out since I last used it, I don't think it's as robust as Gitlab CI.
- Github Action's design is much better, just look at [1] for example, there's a lot of low-hanging fruit in Gitlab that's not done for some reason
- I've had tons of issues with their kubernetes runners, hard to debug spurious system failures
- They still don't display the last N bytes of the logs when logs get long, just the first N bytes, which is entirely useless when a build fails
- It's awfully slow to navigate through pipelines, in particular child pipelines
- The `stages` things is just useless noise, I just wanna specify dependencies please, I don't want to be forced to also put each job in a stage, it's weird.
- You can't expose a secret only to a single job step; they don't really have finer granularity for job steps like Github Actions has -- they just generate a script.sh that's executed directly.
- Github has many more reusable actions from the community, I don't think Gitlab has that at all? At least not in a convenient way.
Re: Gitlab loses one-third of its value after company issues weak forecast
#84As much as I love the product, I've really come to dislike Gitlab as a company. The constant price hikes and the gutting of the free tier aren't exactly developer-friendly.
I had a strange interaction with one of their sales people a few weeks ago.
We have a free premium open source developer account, plus Red Hat runs all the CentOS infra through gitlab and pays a ton of money to them. I received emails from a salesperson demanding that I book an appointment with them to discuss my account. (It sounded like a meeting which had real this could be done by email energy, or else was going to be a high-pressure sales pitch.)
I asked them which account they were talking about and if we could do this on email, but they literally wouldn't say what account it was related to, and just kept saying I must visit some (non-gitlab) site to book this appointment for a video call.
After several rounds of this and following up with someone who works with gitlab to check it wasn't an actual scam (it wasn't), I just ignored the guy.
Conclusion is they sounded desperate to make the numbers last quarter.

#85I like the product - been selfhosting it for years...but frankly the complete absence of a hobby level tier between 0 and 29 makes it a non-starter for me as a managed solution
It just doesn't produce 29 worth value for me pm. Probably does for a corporate user though so i can see why they're doing it

I used to think this, but after having gotten used to Github Actions I’m moving everything over.
Ultimately I constantly felt like everything was half baked when using Gitlab. I still kind of feel that way with Github, but to a much lesser extend.
More importantly, they allow me to pay my $21/month monthly which means they get my business instead of ‘only pay per year’ Gitlab.

#88Earlier quoted context omitted.
When was GitLab ahead of GitHub? I've been using both for as long as I remember, I always thought GitLab is more marketing than GitHub. Believe or not, I prefer BitBucket because I don't care much for CI integrations.
Gitlab CI pipelines are miles ahead from Github Actions or Circle CI.
As someone who’s used all three for years, I am curious why you feel Gitlab is superior?
The developer experience of GitHub and CircleCI feels better in every way from my perspective.

hey, please have some tact. sid is a very active part of our community and almost certainly reading this post. dont say anything here you wouldnt say to a friend's face especially in his time of vulnerability.
It may just be me, but that sounds like something a friend would say? It’s not exactly a secret that you’ve made it, nor is it controversial that cancer sucks.

GitHub actions are great.
Gitlab CI is a bunch of weird hard to understand bolt on conf, undergirded by a defunct docker-machine project
I tried debugging some problems I was having with a runners. Turns out the default Ubuntu AMI was like 6 years old. Does anyone use this thing?
