Given the stock price… it had to be someone. Same for Gitlab soon I guess

  I wonder if Microsoft grabs them. Sad, because GitLab was great for awhile. Then they stopped fixing bugs and started adding unneeded features, and made their pricing very expensive.

  Anyone want to guess who? I'll start: Jetbrains?
  • rickette 2y ago
    Atlassian
  • Apocryphon 2y ago
    Still don't get why JetBrains hasn't been folded into the Alphabet family yet.

      Probably were waiting to see how the company dealt with the sanctions on Russia first.
      • Apocryphon 2y ago
        True, but I was expecting Google to have bought them like a decade ago!

        Brains are twisted: JetBrains closed its last legal entity in St. Petersburg - https://www-dp-ru.translate.goog/a/2023/03/01/Mozgi_svernulis?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp&_x_tr_hist=true https://www-dp-ru.translate.goog/a/2023/03/01/Mozgi_svernuli...

      I’m failing to identify the benefit for the buyer here. What’s your reasoning?
      • Apocryphon 2y ago
        Kotlin and Android Studio are intrinsic to the Android development experience.
        • fishnchips 2y ago
          Why pay for what they get for free, then?
          • Apocryphon 2y ago
            That's a fair question. Still, you often see companies snap up those who build premier developer tools for their ecosystems.

            What if Apple bought them?
            • Apocryphon 2y ago
              It'd be a bit like when Google bought Fastlane.

    Please no.
