> as always there is a buy vs build tradeoff

it's a nonbinary decision now

Google has a free, open source take on what you are building, looks more mature as well

My comment about Cowork is more about pointing out a different feature set that will crossover with Code. In example they have the Task related things as an affordance, Code has this coming.

I believe there is a difference between an open source framework and a product. You would still have to manage and scale your infra, build the integration layer around it to make it accessible where your teams are, fix bugs etc...

I am not saying that build is always the bad choice, but the tradeoff did not disappear imo
