alt Hacker NewsWith all due respect somebody could launch a version of Discord that's 10x faster tomorrow and nobody would know about it
It's very difficult to unseat those incumbents, especially those with strong network effects.
Plus the people that work in those larger companies are not at the edge of AI coding at all and not motivated to rock the boat

Get the feeling with the pending IPO, there might be some challengers to discord that get more traction due to the protracted enshittification of the platform (cf. bluesky)
Totally disagree. One example is Zed which is very well known and it's faster than any other editor, wasn't built with AI though.

False Microsoft is all in with Copilot, and I can't believe the company that created Copilot doesn't use it internally, I'd rather say they should be the ones that would know how to master it! Yet no better vscode, still bloated teams etc etc
you can build it and simply use it in your own office? There is no need to shout about it if the cost of writing software goes to zero (but the value remains non-zero!).
