| I thought that the GitHub degrading would be an opportunity for them to be an alternative more focused in stability and a customer centric approach .
But it's just more slop |

| Investors actually want slop-branded AI on everything right now, so it checks out for companies to maximize for it. We are so fucked. |

| Why would they want to become the target for free users vibe coded slopware? I don’t think many of them are converting to paying customers. |

GitLab's selling point is essentially "Github, but not by Github". They would do Just Fine offering a highly-restricted free account for the handful of hobbyists who care enough about leaving GH but don't care enough to go to Forgejo & friends and for the people doing evaluations, offering free credits to the few high-profile FLOSS projects who accidentally end up on GL-the-SaaS instead of self-hosted GL, and for the rest just focusing on paid corporate customers. | |
