  Gitlab, for all it's flaws fits so much better in "regular" company/organization projects. It's more in line on what people involved in software dev and all the tasks around it have as a mental model and less of a "open source dev social network" like Github tried to be almost from the start and lately got Microsofted. An lets not even bring the CI / Github Actions topic..

  Worth mentioning that Roku is being acquired by Fox so in the virtue battle with Microsoft neither are clean

  I wish they would spill some tea and articulate why they moved.

  I saw a big write up on using Dagger for CI no matter your git host and I was curious if there were any real benefits?

  GitHub is such a mess. They seem to be doing everything and nothing. GitLab is 100x better, in terms of DX. While I still have a soft spot for GH, its frustrating to use it when GL exists.

  GitLab will eventually just get overran with 24/7 agents spewing from their AI Slop Cannons

  I always found it wierd that people flocked to github. The app sucks, if I have to use it for work it infuriates me at nearly every turn with its sad excuse for UI. People like free sh*.As for gitlab...yuck. But whatever. Most of the dev tool space is really just "sh* we have to put up with now", none of it is any good, all of it is dated from the early aughts, and taken as a whole is even worse because none of it works together.While software development itself got better in the last ten years these tools stayed the same or got worse (enshittification). And this is part of why folks are self hosting.The other part is that AI is destroying the Internet and its time to pack your bags anyway. The smart people already have.

  So they replaced a tool from an evil corporation by another one disguised as an open source project.

  Good. I want everyone to do this. I want to see the downfall of Microsoft. Time and again they've proved that anything they touch can't be trusted nor reliable. I am tired of this. They even bully their users - on Mac OS, GitHub desktop doesn't respect the word "no". It installs all kinds of helpers and acts like borderline spyware. Someone created an issue about it on Github and the MS employees told them to fuck off in corporate[1]I am even considering hosting my own GIT server myself. Some of our deployments got affected multiple times in the last 6 months alone we were really caught off-guard. Thankfully our clients were understanding of the GitHub outages. But, this should not be the baseline. Reliability should not be the cost of doing business.[1] https://github.com/creativefoundrysg/desktop#an-open-letter-...

  A devops friend of mine said GitHub turned into a hot mess.
