Greed knows no limit

OpenAI is Microslop, so it's the classic EEE, nothing new to see

It's like with systemd now planning to enforce gov. age verification

People will censor you if you dare say something negative on this website

So i guess, wears a clown hat "congrats!"

Congrats!

This of course means more VC funding for FOSS tools since a successful exit is a positive signal.

Funding is as good as gone until the Iran mess is over.

> a successful exit is a positive signal

This is peak finance brainrot. In no scenario is abandoning ship a positive signal, even if you managed to pocket some valuables on the way out.

Let's stop celebrating dysfunctional business models and consolidation of the industry around finance bros who give zero fucks about said industry.

Solid move by Altman - good signal they’re serious about capturing the Claude Code market from Anthropic.

What I don’t understand is why hasn’t anyone bought Jetbrains yet.

Atlassian? AWS? Google?

Because Jetbrain strategy wasn't to burn money with free tools to eventually exit with the jackpot. They have been profitable for over a decade, simply asking users to pay a fair price for great product.

Judging by all their mistakes in the last years, Russian war and AI, it’s only a matter of time until someone buys them out.

With the way they're going, I'm less and less convinced there will be much left to buy, unless it's for pennies.

I've only been a JetBrains user for five years but it's felt like it's only getting worse the whole time.

To be fair, everything is getting worse the whole time.

Atlassian? Bitbucket as a platform for agentic development.. shudder

Most likely because Jetbrains is not for sale. Google almost certainly offered to buy at some point.

Never did. I remember someone replied to my comment here that Google isn’t paying a penny to JetBrains. They’re quite happy with the relationship primarily because they don’t have to pay anything. If anything, JetBrains is the one who needs Google more than the other way around.
