Gitlab is looking to lay off people like him. All major tech companies are currently raiding to fire such employees.

Yeah they all want to fire the guys who can make sense of the mess the vibe coders are doing and try to stop it.

It will be interesting in the next few years. Assuming we won't be in the 3rd world war thanks to the USA and will have much bigger concerns.

Gitlab has been strapped for cash and desperately seeking a buyer to cash out for years.

If anything, the LLM revolution represents an opportunity that Gitlab is failing to capitalize upon. They have a privileged position to develop pick axes for this gold rush, but apparently they are choosing to dismiss themselves from the race altogether.

Gitlab's decision is being taken in spite of LLMs, not because of them. Enough of this tired meme.
