> It's a blog post on the company's official blog, no?

No. There’s a notice saying it’s unfiltered, with a link leading to a disclaimer saying, pretty much:

> it's like a free-for-all where any employee can post whatever they want without any review.

Or, in their own words:

> This blog is intended for user-generated content submitted by the GitLab team. The views and opinions represented in this blog are personal to the author of each respective blog post and do not represent the views or opinions of GitLab unless explicitly stated.

Regardless of its unofficial status, it's a post promoting the company's products in a public space, where the employee is representing the company. As a GitLab employee agrees above, it's fair to judge the company and hold them to a high standard based on how their employees present their work in the public sphere.
