> Git itself wasn't designed for that load, and bolting AI onto platforms not built for agents is the biggest mistake of this era. We're doing a generational rebuild of the underlying infrastructure to handle agent-rate work as the default. Git itself is being reengineered for machine scale. The monolith is giving way to modern, API-first, composable services

Two big red flags here.

First git itself is distributed and built for scale.

I guesss they mean “gitlab” instead of “git”. But such a huge mistake would never go unnoticed.

Are they going to rebuilt git??

Secondly: a big rebuilt of monolith to services. Firstly there is nothing wrong with a Modulith. Secondly “rebuilt” will cause a lot of busy work without immediate value for customers.

And first of all: this announcement is done due to the stock price not AI The productivity increase with AI is inflated because they want their stock price up.

Sell Gitlab stock while you can. The leadership team has no clue what they are doing.

Sadly non engineering leaders buy into this dogma. AI is very usefull but in my experience doesn’t 10x if you don’t YOLO it.
