I thought this was a really insightful post, until they used it to try and sell me on Gitlab’s security features.

Why would that make it any less insightfull?

  • Because bias and incentives matter.

    There's a reason disclosures are obligatory in academic papers.

    • They pulled a little sneaky on ya, mentioning GitLab security features available to GitLab users in a GitLab Security blog post with GitLab logos everywhere.

      Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I start to think these people might be affiliated with GitLab.

  • It didn’t make it less insightful, but it recontextualized what was, in hindsight, a pretty strong bias towards fearmongering.
