Why is it that the top comment of every debate on HN is without fail something along the lines of "I'm shocked at the negativity here..."?
This cliche is beginning to get a little worn.
- nitrogen 10y agoYou likely know that HN doesn't sort in chronological order, so the negativity probably gets downvoted to the bottom while the complaint remains at the top. It would be nice if we could skip this whole multi-layered meta discussion in the first place, of course.
- scrollaway 10y agoI agree, but it's also especially shocking anyone would be negative about Gitlab. Take it from an adamant free software user, contributor and advocate: "Free software purism" is counter-productive and it's honestly disgusting anyone would wag their finger at Gitlab, possibly the most open source example of a real world company out there (yeah, I'd even put them above Red Hat). They have been a model to follow, an extremely inspiring one at that. Maybe I'm wrong and it's exclusively HN's top paragons of virtue raising their eyebrows? Those that have evolved beyond mortal needs such as money to spend on food and rent, and would be ready to pledge their own possessions to Gitlab Inc (or at the very least, donate to the EFF: https://supporters.eff.org/donate/ https://supporters.eff.org/donate/).
