It's pretty depressing yet motivating seeing SWE bifurcate. This is an app that would've normally had a dozen or so people behind it, all acquihired by OpenAI

This is an app that would've normally had a dozen or so people behind it, all acquihired by OpenAI to find the people who really drove the project.
With AI, it's one person who builds and takes everything.

Acquihires haven't worked that way for a while. The new acquihire game is to buy out a few key execs and then have them recruit away the key developers, leaving the former company as a shell for someone else to take over and try to run. Also OpenClaw was not a one-person operation. It had several maintainers working together.
