The only upside I see is their stock has fallen since this announcement. Perhaps the market is finally getting that companies pushing AI isn't a universal good thing?
Ouch. My company was just about to start moving over to GitLab off of Atlassian.
That makes sense, since Gitlab seems to be trying to challenge Atlassian. In who manages to make worse software...
We use atlassian at my job and I hate it
I like that I can read this as you stating you use Atlassian yet hate Gitlab, and the statement still works either way 😅
I don't think that they've used enough buzzwords.
This is why we built and released the Duo Agent Platform in January. Our first quarter adoption is promising, and we're ready to accelerate.
This is so weird. They gave a Duo presentation at our company and I was a bit second hand embarrassed because it's just bad.
Anyway, the stock price will probably go up after this announcement...
Stock went down though
Damn
- Software will be built by machines, directed by people.
- The agentic era multiplies demand for software. As the cost of producing software collapses, demand for it will expand.
objectively insane.
Governance built into the core.
I still believe that's not possible, but that's only my opinion.
Ok what are we going to call them now? Gitslop? Sloplab?
They once were a promising alternative to MS GitHub but now they’re going down the same route.
I like AI and use it. This post was just sad. What a crazy way to announce you don't have an AI product while saying your product is dead.
Oh god that is so cringe. Just getting into coding i have no idea what to use as an online repo. I dont want to use github because microsoft but i want the basic repo collaboration features to be available cloning, pull requests, issues etc.
Codeberg for hosted, Forgejo for selfhosted.
They are great.
If you don't want to host something yourself, check codeberg
Codeberg or sourcehut.
Gitlab was always cringe.
For a beginner, I'd probably stick to Github initially, just because there's so many guides and tutorials on how to use it, and their free plan is still pretty generous.
A lot of the knowledge is transferable though. If you do want to try something else, Codeberg is pretty good for open-source.
To just learn about Git, you don't even need a host like Github or Codeberg. You can have a Git repo just on your computer, and still get a bunch of the benefits of source control - a full history of everything, separate branches and worktrees so you can have multiple incomplete changes and switch between them, etc.

Some examples of the mindset we expect every team member to embody:
- I take pride in my work because it delivers real outcomes
fucking drones
I care deeply for the customer and the business health
Sure bud
This reads almost like a parody.
The only large mainstream competitor, which would probably benefit from github's troubles: "We saw github breaking itself regularly because of it's own slop coding AND flooded with trash vibe coded projects and thought - that's where we wanna be!"
All I see is layoffs and creating office space to force people to go to office. Well RIP Gitlab.
Shameful behaviour.
An almost inevitable result of venture capital, IMHO.
Gitlab and gitlab-ci really are great and easy to support with little problems as long as you update regularly. It really does look cringe, but they always were chasing current dumb thing relentlesly.
Yeah I like them as well, it's what we use at work. The article doesn't leave me optimistic though
