I thought HN frowned on metacomments, and here it goes, talking about GitLab again, in a Github topic...
- dijit 10y agoI'm in no way affiliated with gitlab, but I do like the product. But the facts are such: 1) GitLab is a YCombinator incubated company. 2) GitLab and GitHub are direct competitors 3) It's almost always relevant to the discussion, in this case; "How could it be done differently, how /has/ it been done differently" In this case I think it's fair to bring up the direct comparison of github and gitlab. The only thing I would say could improve the situation was having github representation on here too.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoI enjoy threads like these; this is how healthy competition looks like. GitLab peoples' comments are relevant, and their discuss technical issues and merits of their solution, instead of comparing to GitHub ("we're better than the competitor!"). If this is how all marketing would always look like, I wouldn't hate it like I now do.
