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

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.
