I feel this is off topic.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but GitLab has integrated CI available on gitlab.com, which is a like-for-like alternative to CircleCI - so in that sense this comment is very much on topic, in my opinion.

I agree too. When reading about CircleCI my first thought is, "wonder why my CI is doing?". Now gotta check the requests to validate their claim.

I'm aware, to me it feels like a plug. I've seen a nearly identical comment on Gitlab from a member of their team on other occasions

HN isn't but the place I'd expect to be downvoted for a factual statement. I have seen the comment before and it feels like someone trying to plug their service the moment "CI" comes up.

I know Gitlab is HN's darling but to me it's not reasonable to plug your service every time a competing service is mentioned.

Also this is a nicely thought out post. I don't see what the problem is.
