This is your cue to leave if you’re still on GitLab.

@aral someone on HN put it simply: Gitlab could've been everything Github was not for the last 3 years. Even if it's just performative, they would've garnered so much goodwill. Instead they decided to play catch up.

@aral Related: I use Anki for studying with flashcards and they just now migrated their CI from Buildkite to Github Actions for their CI. Although:

• Microsoft abandoned some parts of Github Actions because they want to put their resources elsewhere
• Github now charges you money for CI minutes even if you host the runners on your own hardware
• Microsoft is migrating GitHub from AWS to Azure, and Azure isn't ready yet for such workloads, but the two teams didn't communicate, and now they have a <90% uptime.
• It's Microsoft

Some decisions I really don't understand. You want to move away from GitHub, not move to GitHub.
