Why couldn’t OpenAI vibe code their own Windsurf/Cursor competitor? (Serious question). OpenAI is a technology company constantly in search of productization (ChatGPT, Sora, Dall-e), and they’ve been really good at creating product int

I tried it a few months ago and most of the articles it linked me to or suggested were paywalled, each with their own subscriptions. In Apple News, you pay one subscription and get all of them unlocked. It was a no-brainer which reader to u
