As much as I love the mustache fox, I struggle with GitLab being at the center of devops. I think source is more powerful to non-devs and hitching everything to devops might present some challenges.
I work with lots of scientists and they don’t care about devops much now and may never need to. But they love GitHub because they collaborate on scripts, manuscripts, demos, small data files, etc. They pay $4/month or whatever and don’t care about devops. There’s lots of people like this.
I think there’s a smaller amount of proper software devs making software that require devops and will pay for devops.
If GitLab is really about devops, then they should be repo agnostic and work with lots of repos. But their core is still source management that they do really well. So their marketing is out of sync with their identity.
