TL;DR is "I don't know" with a dash of "Innovative tech usually creates bubbles and I think we can all agree that AI is a fucking revelation"

Booooo, go home you're drunk. "Republicans don't engage in discourse" "Yeah, and yet y'all still won't listen to our propaganda because _you're_ entitled."

I don't think this product is for me, but I wanted to mention that the pricing feels wrong. You're pitching people dealing with large volumes of email, but then I'm paying $25/mo for 200 emails which isn't a lot. Al

> Observer bias is the tendency of observers to not see what is there, but instead to see what they expect or want to see. Unfortunately, people enjoying a thing and thinking that it works well doesn't actually mean much on its own.

I think "AI as a dumb agent for speeding up code editing" is kind of a different angle and not the one I wrote the article to address. But, if it's editing that's taking most of your time, what part of your workflow are

Not sure. From other comments, it sounds like that's an adjustment that they made later.
