@Dorizzdt @gitlab Scott, good to see you again! @JonahBSterling is hard at work on improvements, and hopefully a few good memes too :)

Those procedural checks already exist and are breaking more than ever thanks to client side agents generating code that trips them.
That’s why everyone needs repo side agents with Duo Agent Platform to fix the code, MRs, pipelines, vulnerabilities so innovation doesn’t actually slow down with the overwhelming amount of generated code coming through with bugs.
See top 5 use cases and ROI: explore.gitlab.com/dap-top-5-use-…
If you’re using Claude/Codex/Cursor, you need DAP too

@karpathy: "I thinks that there are some really valuable reinforcement learning environments that people could think of that are not part of the... yea I don't want to give away the answer...." (min. 14)
@bstaples, how about structured outcomes in $GTLB like pipeline pass/fail, MR approval/rejection, security scan positive negative?!

@karpathy and I are back! At @sequoia AI Ascent 2026. And a lot has changed. Last year, he coined “vibe coding”. This year, he’s never felt more behind as a programmer. The big shift: vibe coding raised the floor. Agentic engineering raises the ceiling. We talk about what it means to build seriously in the agent era. Not just moving faster. Building new things, with new tools, while preserving the parts that still require human taste, judgment, and understanding.

GitLab is now available in @stripe Projects. Developers and AI coding agents can add GitLab to a project with a single command, with credentials and environment variables provisioned automatically.
Run "stripe projects add gitlab/project" to get started.

@lordtux @jasonbcox0 @JonahBSterling Tons of recent feedback on this, especially in light of agentic engineering, good things coming

@bstaples @jasonbcox0 @JonahBSterling Hi Bill would be amazing a huge focus on geo and the compliance framework/policies as well, these things matters a lot on enterprise.

There's a lot of confused people in this thread on why GitLab isn't an acceptable drop-in replacement for Github. I will periodically add some examples. These are UX monstrosities that make it *unusable*
Josh@joshmanders
GitLab was designed by developers with no eye for design but think they do. The UX is atrocious as if they never used their own product. I'd let GitHub lose another 5-10% uptime before I'd consider switching to BitBucket before I'd consider GitLab.

@mitchellh GitLab would love to win your business @mitchellh - want to grab some time to chat about your requirements?

Ghostty is leaving GitHub. I'm GitHub user 1299, joined Feb 2008. I've visited GitHub almost every single day for over 18 years. It's never been a question for me where I'd put my projects: always GitHub. I'm super sad to say this, but its time to go. mitchellh.com/writing/ghostt…

GitLab is deepening its integration with @AnthropicAI's Claude models, now built into GitLab Duo Agent Platform with full audit and policy enforcement, no separate governance layer needed.
Claude models, including Claude Opus 4.7, are available via Google Cloud, Amazon Bedrock, and the Claude Marketplace, routing AI workloads through existing hyperscaler and Anthropic spending commitments.

Tired of the pain yet? Come to GitLab and take back control of your destiny.
I’ll even throw in the first year free for anyone switching from GitHub who signs a new three year agreement. DM me

Pull requests disappeared on GitHub for many (all?) users. This is just the latest outage on a platform where reliability has been beyond unacceptable the last few months. A fair question: at what point would customers move? How much pain is too much? And where do they move?

50 million registered users, hundreds of thousands of orgs and more than half of the fortune 100 depend on GitLab. We accept thousands of community contributions every quarter.
Sorry you didn’t have a great experience last time, would be happy to have the team help you give it another shot. DM me if interested
English
@b_o_f_h_ I used GitLab a while back and it was just endless spinners and jank. Not much better.
Considering self hosting something but would prefer something where the community is
English
ok for real who is building the next github, you've caught me in a moment where I might actually move us
English
Cloud neutral, model neutral, runs everywhere, trusted by 50 million registered users, hundreds of thousands of organizations and more than half of the fortune 100.
Use GitHub for open source / free / personal accounts.
Build your software business on GitLab.
You’ll get what you pay for!
English
@lfredolo Not a problem with AI docs.gitlab.com/ci/migration/g… we do it all the time
English
@bstaples If you support a drop-in solution for Github Actions. A lot of other things can follow. You guys have had SO MUCH time to do this!
English
@bstaples no need for version control. in 6-12 months AI will one-shot anything
English
@JasonBoxman Big UX refresh just a few months ago, we rolled it out in beta with 99.9 acceptance rate. You should give it another try
English
@bstaples Was always disappointed by the UI. GitHub was more intuitive. Figuring out npm repo hosting was pure pain. Oh well, not in that place anyone.
English
@AdityaTripathiD Free comes at a cost. And now you’re feeling it. Why not use the platform more than half of the fortune 100 run their software factory on? about.gitlab.com/solutions/star…
English
@bstaples I think regardless of the outages, GitHub is quite generous with its free plan, even for organisations (especially useful for tiny startups).
English
@GKedzierski AI is going to write more and more of the world’s code, that is inevitable.
What isn’t inevitable is betting your destiny on one cloud/model/service.
GitLab is cloud and model neutral, and our core thesis is speed without trust will never work for real business.
English
@bstaples How much of GitLab codebase is now being written by AI?
English
Devs, you were right all along: about.gitlab.com/switch/
GitLab delivers more than DevSecOps and AI, we give you independence.
DM me to get started on your path back to freedom.

Never in a million years did I think I would recommend GitLab but it’s been great ever since the generation of AI tools right after co-pilot became popular.
Highly recommend switching

@faizan10114 Yes, we have glab: docs.gitlab.com/cli/
and duo CLI (which is linked to glab if you also want to use our AI tools): docs.gitlab.com/user/gitlab_du…
English
@bstaples do you guys have a cli, like the `gh cli`. Thats our primarily workflow at this point
English
@creatine_queen Nah, with AI it can happen faster than you think. Our team does it all the time. DM me if you’re interested in exploring! docs.gitlab.com/ci/migration/g…

@bstaples Do you have a startup programme, for VC backed startups?
