    I don’t know, seems like being owned by Google would be worse. They kill stuff left and right.

      But they have been partially owned by Google for the past time, and the product has been great.

      Google’s involvement is only going to lessen, so the only reason to put so much emphasis on that in the headline would be to get those rage clicks.

        Partially owned gives room for the product to stay alive. It being fully owned by Google makes it subject to being killed.

          I guess responses like yours is the reason the headline didn’t mention the actual party gitlab is in talks with. People just love to have their villain.

          Ignore the headline. Read the article. Gitlab is not about to sell to Google. They are about to sell to Datadog.

            Selling to Datadog isn’t a guarantee. The most important detail is that they’re exploring a sale, and other companies are probably going to be interested.
