As a fellow failed startupper, this blog post reads like any other failed startup goodbye post.
Sure, your people were great but they didn't innovate enough to make an attractive product (granted, AI code autocompletion is hard - I doubt we'll get something I'd be happy to pay before we reach GAI and we'll be all out of a job by then).
Oh and the "It's not the tech fault which is amazing, it's just a sales pipeline issue!"
Look, I understand caring about your employees and I said the same BS when my company failed trying to shift all the blame on me and not on my team. When you are in a startup it's everyone's job to say "hey, btw, what we want to do will suck because the tech is not there".
If you see something raise it and try to pivot, or you'll be out of a job with worthless grades.ß in
Maybe you could have cut your losses earlier on.
