Don't put words in my mouth.
I didn't say Gitlab is an open source company, which is a very specific term with a very specific meaning.
Does a mission statement starting with "Since the beginning, we've been firm believers in remote work, open source, DevOps, and iteration" mean they're focused on open source or not?
- satvikpendem 4y agoIt doesn't matter what they say, one should look at their actions. Acta non verba.
- BoorishBears 4y agoSo we came full circle on my original point...
- satvikpendem 4y agoIt's strange how you're asking questions to make your point instead of just stating your point outright. I initially thought you genuinely didn't know so I answered you, not knowing you were simply being sarcastic instead.
- BoorishBears 4y agoI made my point in my first comment. > I'd expect any open source focused company* to merge beneficial changes. I didn't think I needed to spell out that means "they're not acting like they're talking", but you made a reply that clearly missed it.
- satvikpendem 4y agoAnd my point which you seem to have missed is, it never matters what anyone or any organization says, the only thing that matters is what they do, therefore assume and act accordingly
- BoorishBears 4y agoOh so your point is the default cynic's defense of bad behavior. "Don't call them out on their doublespeak, they can't help it" I guess I was being charitable in assuming you had more to say than that.
- satvikpendem 4y agoNot sure what to tell you, if you want to take companies at their word and believe them, you do you.
