Cause for freedom-lovers to celebrate: #GitLab heads to IPO with $233M ARR and 69% growth rate. They are the reason that #Git today is still a viable fully #OpenSource solution. Without them we'd be stuck with Microsoft's proprietary #GitHub veneer. 👋 7 year user here.

@icedquinn @samtuke I don't know about "supposed to", but I have found some projects that leverage `git email` to negotiate collaboration. Very interesting! I haven't found a good way to swap that into my organization, though.
@icedquinn @samtuke Yeah, I'm torn on this one. My career is webapps, so I recognize the value of interfaces like gitlab/hub, especially for onboarding and project history. But of course the centralized github model seems yicky to our Mastodon-loving sensibilities. For email-driven, you still need an interface to track things. Hence, I guess, host-your-own Gitlab?
