Side note: the comments in this are all almost as valuable as the content itself. Remember when comments were a way people used to enhance content rather than attack or degrade it?
There has been a theme of instability with Gitlab.com over the last week or two. I'm not sure if it's growth related (they've seen a steady increase of users/traffic) and they've reached a scaling peak. OR if it's technically related - they've been doing a number of different infrastructure changes over the last few weeks which make a material difference to the main layers of the service.
For me the real test here is how they respond to this. As a paying customer I want to understand the issue, the efforts to prevent this in future and how they communicate this.
Many people seem to complain about the low quality Google search but don't often offer any better alternatives. I can't help but feel like sometimes the quality of the Google search results reflect the quality of the web in general: stocked with a whole lot of spam content that people actually consume.
What is actually happening here? A lot of rhetoric about the "Transfer of data" etc, but other times this just reads like a Google Cloud Infrastructure play, with some consulting on top.
Also - The deal was only just signed, e.g. the transfer hasn't happened yet?
There's a lot of hearsay in all of this reporting...
I'm curious about this as well, I'm more in a hybrid role now where less and less coding effort and I'm living in Chrome anyway for most of my tasks...
