Instead of Gitlab actually attracting more customers, they're trying to extract more money from their existing customers. This never ever goes well. Why can CEOs not see this.

I'm moving to GitHub. I've always championed the small guy, but the last couple of years have been terrible for Gitlab users.

I wish that were true but Oracle, Cisco, PayPal etc all seem to have succeeded in pivoting to more extractive business models over growth. At least in terms of earnings.
When you are compared to Oracle, it's always, always, always bad.

A lot of companies want and try to move off OracleDB, but it's really, really hard. I don't think that's the case for moving off Gitlab.
