#32Seems like tough competition in this space. Warp has what's essentially Github Copilot in the CLI, and it's the same price. Beyond that, actual GH Copilot does a damn good job of crafting any CLI command that you can describe.
Where is open source alternative?

No, presumably these employees will be based on dry land
I'm not one that laughs at others' auto-correct bloopers. I have made quite a lot of mistakes myself. But your quick reply made me laugh for a good 90-sec or so.
Right? To me it's more than just a cheap joke because it opens such possibilities. My first thought was of Amazon expanding out under Puget Sound in Bioshock-esque sunken office buildings.

#34Wait, this is Autocomplete for $12/month?
I reckon scripts and secrets sharing within teams is the primary feature customers pay for.

It does more than just autocomplete and it does it well.

#36How does one join AWS?
leetcode and reducing self-respect
Re: Amazon acquires Fig
#37Congratulations!? I do hope that means AWS’s ever growing cli commands will be all fig now (or will be)? It’s getting a bit long in the tooth. What about support outside of AWS? Will fig still be as awesome in iTerm2 with what-ever-is-in-%PATH%?
He’s thrilled because it’s good for him, not for the users.

#38> There aren't any updates to share at this time on future plans, Wait for the “Our amazing journey” post where Amazon is just going to shut their product down
Yep. Unfortunately great for the founders and (hopefully) for the team, but my first thought is always "another one bites the dust". Here's hoping we're both wrong.
Re: Amazon acquires Fig
#39Congratulations! I've been using it for about a year or so. Hopefully their product will continue to exist... that's what their blog says now, but that's pretty much what everyone says at first.

nobody's forcing amazon to do anything they dont want to do lol
but it is true that this is a rare devtools startup acquisition by amazon. i cant think of many here (cloud9 was the last one i know, and that was 2016) but that could be due to my ignorance.
