I'm also confused why Devin is worth billions

For real. According to the marketing material. Couldn’t Devon just whip up a windsurf competitor in minutes?

They are hiring software engineers! Just look at the careers page! hahahaha

Devin's whole business model is predicated upon replacing programmers with minimum wage AI agents.

That the generally unspoken business model for all ai products. How can we get rid of these annoying humans.

Reminds me of of some quip where a doctor says to a resident. Yeah this job would be so cool if it wasn't for all these sick people.

That'll be cool only if Devin actually worked.

the founder went to harvard, is basically the answer

Who decides for much a company is worth?

> crazy valuations

I haven't seen anything to indicate what was paid for what's left of Windsurf.

I was also referring to the $2.5B Google paid. I can’t imagine what could possibly be the value they’re hoping to get

I'd love to learn more about that arrangement. Maybe Google's terms indicated that the "licensing fees" portion of "$2.4 billion in licensing fees and for compensation" are void if Windsurf gets acquired.

They got the top talent from there with the technology and they can continue on that or be used for other AI projects, right?
