I feel like this would've been better as a VSCode extension. Copilot, Q, Gemini, all were able to take this approach. Also, VSCode isn't considered a full IDE and adding some AI features isn't enough to change that. It seems like they forked VS Code just for the ability to say they "created an IDE" in the same way other projects fork Chromium to "build a browser".

China is taking every venture-funded AI startup and shitting on them. Almost all of them. Tencent's Hunyuan 3D - Tripo, etc. Tencent's Hunyuan Video - Sora, Runway, Pika, etc. ByteDance's Trae - Cursor, etc. DeepSeek R1 - GPT, etc. Unitree - Figure, Tesla, Boston Dynamics, etc. And a ton of this stuff is completely open source. All of the Tencent stuff is. This destroys the moat of so many companies that have spent h…

ByteDance's UI-TARS - Skyvern, ec.

Trae and Cursor have both certainly embraced the Kelsey Hightower take on "no code" platforms https://github.com/kelseyhightower/nocode https://github.com/getcursor/cursor https://github.com/Trae-AI/Trae

Even better is nothing at all: https://github.com/timdorr/-

Not even a commit: https://github.com/timdorr/-/commit/9e5a571abd3fc4f8714e8c40...

Maybe they think it's in their national interest that a generation of Americans stops practicing their reading skills because of the tl;dr machine and stops building job skills that aren't reliant on the job-doing machine.

Slightly relevant but they are also in the game of commercial mathematical optimization solvers and this year they reached parity with the sota American ones (ibm cplex, gurobi, Fico Xpress). It is that bad that all the American companies withrew from the public benchmark library. You can only see there Chinese commercial solvers and open source ones. https://plato.asu.edu/bench.html

What are the solvers?

I can't imagine getting an engineering job at an engineering company and asking them if I'd be allowed to create an opensource IDE that would never be a sold product. I can barely even get allowed time to write SRE tooling to improve our own engineers lives.

Some C-levels newphew into computers and need a school project or something?
