Oh, that description explains why the core pipeline authoring and capabilities have made almost no progress in the last few years. I actually thought gitlab still branded itself as a "classic" dev ops tool.
Ironically I was very open to paying for a service, but the “AI AI AI!” lost them at least one sale.
When my company was acquired by $MegaCorp, I noted one of vendors was like "trusted by $MegaCorp" because yes technically, they got a check from $MegaCorp but $MegaCorp was not interested in becoming further customer.
Ironically, the JetBrains autocomplete is better than their DUO plugin - JetBrains is faster and the GitLab plugin causes my IDE to completely lock up at least once a day.
There was a short break after the first talk concluded during which about a third of the attendees left, myself included.
“GitHub with a worse UI except GitHub’s has been getting worse for years so now they’re both similarly bad so never mind”
“Worse gitea but with more features so sometimes it’s better”
I love that it implies there is a more comprehensive DevSecOps platform that isn't AI-powered.
Can't believe they'd put "AI-powered" there when it can't even be used to find exact word matches.
