man Gitlab continues slaying it here! The acquisition of Gemnasium is another big boost for their CI pipeline tools which are already fantastic. I love them building out the CI/CD architecture, not just from a user perspective, I think it gives them a big competitive advantage long term.
I must say I never would have predicted Gitlab being this good of a product 3-4 years ago, they're doing a lot of things right in that company. I'd like to actually know more about who is behind it, is there a mojombo?
- sytse 9y agoI'm not sure I totally understand your question. Just to be clear Tom Preston-Werner(mojombo) is not affiliated with GitLab. Our CTO Dmitriy 'DZ' Zaporozhets started GitLab and is spearheading critical parts, including the integration of the Gemnasium team. But more than any one individual it is more a collaboration between 1900 contributors http://contributors.gitlab.com/ http://contributors.gitlab.com/
- jfaucett 9y agoYea I phrased it oddly, but you basically answered it. Thanks for the great product though. > But more than any one individual it is more a collaboration between 1900 contributors On this line, as someone who has participated in building companies, software (some open some closed) for many years now, my hope is that one day we will get to a state in our societies so that the majority of companies can be decentralized, collectively owned, collaborative undertakings, where everyone is a shareholder. I think we took a big step in this direction with the emergence of open source collaborative projects and the decentralized planning that comes with it, and the invention of smart contracts, the blockchain, and cryptocurrencies, but we still have a long ways to go, especially on the legal bureaucratic and risks end of things.
