@jacqueline 8 layers of management is pure madness, but the reduction of that is probably the only positive thing I can read out of this thing...

Getting rid of git is amusing. Too much tracking, too many humans poking their nose in at what the agentic oroborus is doing.

@jacqueline Oh fuck, you aren't kidding!
Role right-sizing: As we shift to a new strategy and way of working, powered by AI, we must revisit the size of staffing for each role to ensure we are optimizing for speed and customer outcomes. In some cases, AI can augment and accelerate what team members have been doing, in other places we need to expand certain roles to go faster. We do expect daily use of AI by every individual in the company and we are launching AI acceleration programs to support every role as part of our transformation.
@andreas @jacqueline What I truly lack in understanding is what are they all using? We used gen AI since the beginning and yes it can definitely boost productivity but more in a way you can bounce your ideas of someone that sometimes says something useful and if that is your thing you are definitely faster now. But I have yet to see something from agentic or vibe coding that beats a 1. semester if the goal is not just it does something and you have any standards.

@jacqueline What a pile of absolute horseshit. I'm glad I never wasted the energy to move from GitHub to GitLab, only to have the rug pulled out from under me. Thank heavens for Forgejo.

@lunarloony @jacqueline Reading between the lines: They're preparing to fire a lot of people and replace them with AI.
@Natanox @jacqueline Oh yeah, it just sounds like they're reducing the amount of countries in the world by 30%

@jacqueline goddamn I’m glad I left working in tech. It’s a mess covered in AI slop and condescension

@jacqueline GitHub is choking on slop, and also vomiting it. Atlassian is cancelling the on-premise versions of their software. GitLab could have just sat back and let the enterprise customers come to them. I liked GitLab.

@Natanox I'm not even sure that's reading between the lines. It seems pretty clear from reading it that that is the intent.

@jacqueline so... I should migrate to codeberg?
@evalhaik @jacqueline absolutely. Or the bots will open up PRs after PRs and call you out when you do not accept their PRs.

@jacquelines
removing up to three layers of management in some functions so leaders are closer to the work
but this doesn't read too bad! imagine an organisation where you can just remove three layers off the org chart .... -

@jacquelines oh my ... the human in the loopHumans still own the judgment that matters most: architecture, deep understanding of the customer problem
the reverse centaur, the accountability sink
