Nah, they were always chasing flash. I enjoyed using their products circa 2015-2020, but man they really leaned into the Pareto Principle. Every feature had rough edges, and they didn’t invest much in polish.
It’s a tough trade-off for a small team competing with a behemoth, and I guess their success indicates that they played their hand correctly. If you are going for the enterprise segment then checking off the feature requirements can be more important than making each feature perfect.
- trvz 9mo ago~2400 vs ~5600 isn’t “small team vs. behemoth”.
- theptip 9mo agoThey were nowhere near 2400 in the time range I mentioned.
- acdha 9mo agoI don’t think it was perfect back then either but it felt like it got worse. I think this may prove a strategic error: checking all of those enterprise boxes gets you in the door but they don’t have Microsoft’s clout in that market and depend on technical staff pushing for them over GitHub.
- hosh 9mo agoGitlab’s CICD offering is way more robust than Github Actions.
