That last phrase is what I disagree with. Every company makes stupid mistakes, but Gitlab seems to make a lot - more than average, compared to companies I've seen the insides of (of course a small sample).

For me, as soon as the company becomes bigger, the number of mistakes becomes sheer endless.
