Company that repeatedly tells you software developers are obsoleted by their product buys more software developers instead of using said product to create software. Hmm.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
What competition was OpenAI likely to face from a team working on fast Python tooling?
I have no idea but for sure they did their homework before making this step. I suppose they're grabbing these business just to stay ahead, in order to prevent the competitors to buy those instead.
Not surprised at all on this. I've been really suspicious about how hard `uv` was being pushed in 24/25.
This is a weird pattern accross OpenAI/Anthropic to buy startups building better toolings. I don't really see the value for OAI/Anthropic, but it's nice to know that uv (+ ty and many others) and Bun will stay maintained!

They're not buying developers, they are buying the whole ecosystem to produce software. Still aligned with their original message.

Totally agree The value for Anthropic / OAI is that they have a strong interest in becoming the "default" agent. The one that you don't need to install, because it's already provided by your package manager.
I don't think this holds because we're talking about developers who know how to use a package manager, on a piece of software you have to install anyways. The friction of "uv add $other_llm_software" is too low for it to have a real impact. I think they're more into the extra context they can build for the LLM with ruff/ty.
