I have mixed feelings. Gitlab always reacts to Github stuff. It's a bit "too much" for my taste actually.
The Gitlab team seems awesome but these posts always read a bit forced-friendly. Yay we are all friends in this space and we see this and that trend and here are some benefits of gitlab over the competition in a thinly vailed "switch already" piece. I wish they'd just write "these price changes could suck for you, it's a good time to switch to us now".
I got a similar vibe from the posts in reaction to the "this is wrong with github" posts.
- rdtsc 10y agoWell they have to be agressive but can't be inconsiderate. As a smaller company, can't wait around to see what happens, they have to move fast. Responding to their biggest competetor is very smart. I like that they included prices and a comparison table. As opposed to say something too general like "here are our features", they know everyone will compare them GitHub, so they talk about it and compare directly. I don't think their approach is veiled at all. It seems pretty obviousy. Saying "things like GitHub pricess suck" would be childish and irresponsible though.
- hashkb 10y agoYeah, it is transparently desperate.
