@rysiek@mstdn.social Gitlab isn't solving a problem. They're optimizing based on near-term incentives. Right now, the investment money is all chummed with AI hype. If you want to see near-term valuation increase, you pivot to AI. It's just like in the '90s when anyone could say 'web' in a VC pitch and get funded. ... And just like in the early 00s, when that bubble bursts, some companies will have figured it out, and a lot of companies will fail catastrophically... and there will be people who redirected their entire career to align with what industry was asking for, who will left with difficult-to-market skills. And nothing is going to change, because every VC sees their investment as the next Amazon rather than the next Pets.com.
