Oai deserves everything bad that happens to them.

Where did they acknowledge publicly mythos was fear mongered? Grok returned no evidence.

Maybe you should ask Grok to explain what GP said

I feel like we are seeing agentic coding tools morph into walled gardens with these acquisitions. Anthropic has restricted claude code usage while OpenAI has sort of let Codex fill the void. I am curious to see how this continues to evolve.

True. But this sounds: "I feel like Mondays are coming after Sundays...".

"Hundreds of companies rely on Stainless to generate SDKs, CLIs, and MCP servers—the libraries, command-line tools, and connectors that let developers and agents use an API." not anymore lol

That is WILD to put those statements together in the same article.

They didn’t. The first is from the Stainless blog post, the second is from Anthropic’s.

This is the whole point and the reason for the lofty valuations. Get everyone to shift their work to be dependent on these tooling, to the point they can't imagine working in any other way, and then raise prices. Tale as old as enterprise software.

Tale as old as the word "startup" even. Uber/Lyft did it with taxis. DoorDash did it with food delivery. You run at a loss for years while destroying your legacy competition by just outlasting them, then once you have cornered the market you squeeze.

I'm reading "enshitification", and it describes this cycle of first losing money but acquiring customers, then switching focus to catering to businesses, then to themselves and at that point the tool is not what it was supposedly intended to be.

This is the same startup culture. The only innovation here is finding new way to swindle customers and businesses out of money.

I can't find the word "journey" — I'm disappointed.

Well nowadays also there are no "force for good", "joining forces", "democratization" and so on. Times have truly changed.

The moment a group accepts VC money, this becomes the plan

I was at stainless since the very beginning, I can tell you it wasn’t the plan

Why wouldn't getting more customers the plan? Anthropic doesn't acquire companies to have a lower market share. There is clearly a consolidation and a rush to get as much of the developer market as possible.
