But it looks like it is time to ditch GitLab for good:

@rysiek Which is in stark contrast to some developers commentary, elsewhere and on here, about *waves hands all over* the situation: "we'll just have to wait and see what happens"
Wait for what? I don't know how many times I've worked with folks and their default behavior is "We'll just have to let the bad thing keep happening and maybe management will realize the problem". It only gets worse.
If they have an audience/platform, clout, or money _they should be pushing people to unionize_.
@zimzat yup.

https://about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-act-2/@rysiek I didn't know that GitLab wanted people to use Forgejo so badly.
Now GitHub are probably going to do something similar, like try to find a way to sell Copilot more than they are already are

Software has been "built by machines, directed by people" for decades.
That's what compilers and linkers do, that's what uncountable lines of Bash and endless CI/CD pipelines are – machines building software, directed by people.
And for decades, the bottleneck has not been churning out code. It was code review, it was quality control, it was bug fixing. AI slop makes that *worse*, not better:
https://freakonometrics.hypotheses.org/89367GitLab, and the rest of the industry, is solving for the wrong problem.
@rysiek I am so glad I came to this article thanks to you! It manages to clearly state the worries I have as a test consultant in a world where no one seems to care about quality anymore, in a way I could never find the words for. I also learned about the term credence goods for the first time.

https://about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-act-2/@rysiek the first time i heard MicroShit bought it, i was done there. I just setup an open to all VCS on MPAQ. We REFUSE to let AI in our network INCLUDING "spell check". All of that shit is band on our systems. We write 100% of our own code. One of our team is in the middle of https://voip.mpaq.org
With that said, SELF HOST or look for something like https://vcs.mpaq.org -

@rysiek It’s really just a letter to investors isn’t it?

https://about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-act-2/Gitlab had a great thing going and they'll be pushing a lot of loyal users away by this. Fuck AI

https://about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-act-2/@rysiek I've been freeloading off GitLab too long. Tried self-hosting their open version of their software so I could pull my repos in-house but I didn't have the patience to sort out undocumented broken containers. This is the motivation I need to migrate everything to Codeberg and send them an ongoing donation to cover costs.
GitLab worked well for me but my usage level never justified a paid account. Sad to see them spiral down the AI drain but it's been coming for a while.
