Loads a blank white page and breaks the back button in Firefox.

I recognize the guys in the video, they were in marketing videos for the Windsurf IDE before its founding team was cannibalized by/absorbed into Google.

It's really kind of pathetic how we live in a future where "antigravity" is a text editor that lies to you, "hoverboards" are one-wheeled electric skateboards that burn your house down, and... well, can't think of a third thing at the moment, but you know the vibe.

Lotta people mining science fiction for cool names and then applying them to their crappy products, cheapening the source ideas.

Neat, but the world doesn't need another IDE, and people want choice. Provide tools that plug into open workflows and step back.

I don't get it. It's a completely blank web page. Did they not test in firefox?

Ah Google misconfigured their web server:

Edit: And a couple minutes later, it is now working. Guess Google is reading HN.

Few horse racers became automobile racers.

If existing engineers don't change it doesn't matter because new engineers will take their place.
