Tools like Cursor and Windsurf are just the beginning. As the underlying models advance, the IDE will evolve alongside critical stages like testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and debugging. A fundamental shift is underway—and it’s only accelerating. Would love to hear how others see this playing out and if your building in this space please reach out!

OpenAI should spin-off its consumer and enterprise product business into a for-profit entity and open-source its models with continued R&D under the non-profit entity.

What a bad idea! Take a product from one monopoly and sell it to a would-be monopolist. Not only that, you're taking it from a company that doesn't monetize it directly and selling it to one that would have to find ways to monetize it HEAVILY in order to pay for the purchase. The breakup of Google's ad business makes sense to me, but taking pieces that are currently subsidized as part of a competitive moat - providing a lot of value to consumers as part of the bundle, and selling them to someone eager to monetize (i.e. enshittify) them - seems like a bad idea.
