I wonder how Gitlab slipped this obvious AI market opportunity, they had very good position in code self hosting used by so many enterprises.

just add repo-level agents, org-level agents and done. they could have got 50B valuation by now

GitLab already has AI agents and agentic workflows. See their "Duo Agent Platform" https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-duo-agent-platform/

Gitlab SaaS released features at a slow cadence as end user. Great big ball of mud prob from a dev pov. As an end user it worked but never saw new features released
