Curious how they’ll balance the business needs of moving fast with AI vs quality because my agents aren’t that good. While it works, I’m often having to cleanup afterwards - slowing everything down. I was almost as fast when I had just basic intellisense.

Anyway, I’ll watch the twitch stream from across the pond.

They probably just manage to realize that being seen to be "moving fast with AI" simply isn't a goal unto itself, that it has to deliver something of value beyond itself.

Or at least "value" beyond that reaped by current investors unloading their shares onto "Greater Fool" buyers at high prices.

There are plenty of alternative software needs that do not need to be AI based nor do they need to change tactics due to the current obsession with AI.
