This seems to be similar to GitHub adding automated code analysis and screening as well as detecting flaws in what would become the built artifacts like external APIs. In a sense they are delivering static analysis which used to cost a lot of money, time and dedicated manpower (i.e. HP Fortify). It makes sense for those companies to expand beyond what they already have. Starting with version control systems, going on to Wikis, static websites, actions/automation, CI, artifact hosting. It will eventually contain the entire lifecycle it seems.

  Sorry, the lol was meant as a reply to ‘ One could argue that GitLab gets more and more mature but somehow still has Peach Fuzz.’

    That’s funnier than the joke itself as I was scratching my head to understand the joke in > It makes sense for those companies to expand beyond what they already have.

Because from what I understand wasn’t this the goal from early on? :)

      On one hand yes, on the other hand there is a difference in making better products vs. enriching the product by buying other products and integrating them. On the other hand, there is no single 'right way' of course, and adding knowledge, people and IP via acquisition is a functional way to do that. But people will inevitably compare products and with GitLab vs. GitHub it's an obvious one to make. I do get the feeling that since Microsoft bought GitHub they are accelerating their feature releases to be more in line with GitLab's speed.

    Haha yeah, I know ;-) I had HN open in two tabs and somehow managed to create a mental race-condition and posted my posts in the wrong order.
