long past time. what’s taking people so long
what’s taking people so long
besides the fact that there’s no decent alternative for workloads of a certain size/scale?
There’s always Azure DevOps. Wait…
Which almost nobody needs?
Decentralisation. I don’t want to fall in the same trap picking a huge platform which can only be ran by a large entity. Federation in Forgejo is taking quite long.
We made a PoC on top of Solid which does work so it is clearly possible, but the code quality is too low to trust the solution.
Perhaps we should use git in the distributed manner it was designed
gitlab?
They’ve been pushing a lot of AI slop lately, and in general aim to turn gitlab into an AI-coding-first platform, where humans only coordinate AIs. Search for gitlab act 2 if you wanna know more
Why even rely on a web interface for git, just use git
Pull requests and issue trackers
I can do a pull request via email
Why do issue trackers need to be connected?
Genuinely, pull requests being off platform without good integrated diff and merge conflict resolution tooling just doesn’t work at a certain scale.
Like linux kernel scale?
I would argue that Linux kernel scale basically doesn’t work. It is a huge barrier to would-be developers to get into. You might argue that’s a feature, but it’s pretty hard to argue that it doesn’t add a lot of friction to the process
It’s email… everyone knows how to use email, everyone has an email address. It’s the lowest friction possible.
