I Like GitLab 6 months ago

I also like it. At one point I had my team move all of our team management to it as well. It was a little bit painful as first, but once you understand the issue, epic, milestone hierarchy it was it was great. The board feature that does kanban was cool. Switching from dedicated ec2 runners to pods in our cluster was less awesome…

That’s cool. These are my expectations. Company 1 wins contract and builds something, key team members are experienced with making and navigating the “process”. Company 2 copy/pastes. They have not performed any work yet but they entered a bid X years later and bring up the years of “mediocre” dev Company 1 has done. There is only existing company 1 work and only hope of company 2. Contracting Officer chooses company 2 because promises sound good!

Reality, company 2 wins on cost and doesn’t understand the context of what was built or the environment it was built in. They don’t understand the costs as they didn’t pay them. Company 2 quickly proposes “full rewrite!” Lower cost labor they brought in can’t perform and quality degrades till we have (insert Gov software program here).

Or it doesn’t happen.

SUSE to go private 3 years ago

I hope this doesn’t step on Rancher. I could see Rancher, RKE2, Neuvector start to get tighter integration and become more of a licensed model.

SUSE to go private 3 years ago

I don’t know why I read it this way, but I read “go private” as “closed source”. After reading, SUSE is no longer going to be a public company.

There are still many Vegas casinos where you get 3/2 odds on blackjack and play with a six deck shoe. Don’t give business to the strip CSM and 6/5 games if you don’t like it.

Thanks for the thoughts. Looking at solutions to help with state drift in multi-tenant clusters. Using lots of rancher but a dev “flipping switches” sometimes creates pain for me. Argo seemed to be a good solution to “no more kubectl in prod” but I think there is some neato fleet integration with Rancher. Thanks again!!
