GitLab, a significant player in the open-source and DevOps communities, has announced a major restructuring as it prepares for what CEO Bill Staples calls the “agentic era” of software development, in which AI agents play a larger role in planning, coding, reviewing, deployment, and maintenance.
Gitlab enshittified, got it. Sticking with Codeberg then, and deleting my Gitlab account. Killing jobs for AI is a crime.
gitlab -> ruby on rails -> clunky as fuck -> puke
Time to migrate to Codeberg or Gittea.
or Forgejo
Gitea is also leaning into the slop
get off github/gitlab move to codeberg and if you can afford it donate to them.
So sick of this endless cycle of using a great product, then it gets enshitified, then you need to deal with a migration.
There’s a floating log of shit in the pool, everybody out !
On a more serious note, how’s that Forgejo decentralized business coming along ? I’d be happy to pitch in some cycles and space for offsite storage and CI/CD…
GitLab had shitty data privacy practices from the start. There are better sites for Open Source software, like codeberg.org or notabug.org. And one can self-host a git repo and a tarball from something as simple and small as a Raspberry Pi running a Gemini server written in Rust (Gemini the frugal network protocol, not the google AI crap).
Codeberg.
