🔴 OpenAI Eyes $3B Acquisition of Codeium

🔸 Windsurf, Codeium’s AI coding tool, may soon join ChatGPT's ecosystem.
🔸 Deal could clash with OpenAI’s stake in rival Cursor, valued at $10B.
🔸 Windsurf users were offered a $10/month lock-in ahead of a pending announcement.
🔸 Codeium’s ARR: $40M — far below Cursor’s $200M.

I'm not sure if there's a place for auto admin panels (active_admin in Ruby or kaffy in Elixir or the OG Django Admin) anymore given that LLMs can *easily* generate kick-ass and fully dedicated admin panels in minutes 🤔

I've built two pretty advanced admin panels for my Phoenix apps (so, still kinda niche tech stack) with little to no effort. Apart from regular CRUD stuff, I've got advanced features like syncing data with Stripe, or lately I built a mailing list sync with MailerLite in like 2 hours.

Given this experience I really don't see why I would need a solution like Kaffy (I used it initially in @justcrosspost and then rebuilt the whole admin panel in literally less than an hour with much better end result).

What are your thoughts on this topic? 👍🏻 or 👎🏻?

Spent two hours with Gemini 2.5 creating that African bean game, complete with an AI that can beat me.

Challenges: the AI faced issues with the fact that both players play in their own area, each counterclockwise.

Actually this was the only manual change I needed to do - rename the upper row cells from 7..0 to 0..7. Couldn't bother to get the AI to do this. But apart from that it was just a (3 times refined) prompt, and one more prompt to implement a simple AI (find the move that maximizes AI stones - player stones), no alphabeta or anything.

Want to try it out?

(need to add the rules someday).

If I would have had to code this myself, it would probably be a 2 week project. For these small apps, the current top notch AIs give you orders of magnitude of speed. Of course this massively declines (still) with the size of the project.

@elementary tl;dr I support your objectives, and kudos on the goal, but I think you should monitor this new policy for unexpected negative outcomes. I take about 9k characters to explain why, but I’m not criticizing your intent.

While I am much more pragmatic about my stance on #aicoding this was previously a long-running issue of contention on the #StackExchange network that was never really effectively resolved outside of a few clearly egregious cases.

The triple-net is that when it comes to certain parts of software—think of the SCO copyright trials over header files from a few decades back—in many cases, obvious code will be, well…obvious. That “the simplest thing that could possibly work” was produced by an AI instead of a person is difficult to prove using existing tools, and false accusations of plagiarism have been a huge problem that has caused a number of people real #reputationalharm over the last couple of years.

That said, I don’t disagree with the stance that #vibecoding is not worth the pixels that it takes up on a screen. From a more pragmatic standpoint, though, it may be more useful to address the underlying principle that #plagiarism is unacceptable from a community standards or copyright perspective rather than making it a tool-specific policy issue.

I’m a firm believer that people have the right to run their community projects in whatever way best serves their community members. I’m only pointing out the pragmatic issues of setting forth a policy where the likelihood of false positives is quite high, and the level of pragmatic enforceability may be quite low. That is something that could lead to reputational harm to people and the project, or to community in-fighting down the road, when the real policy you’re promoting (as I understand it) is just a fundamental expectation of “original human contributions” to the project.

Because I work in #riskmanagement and #cybersecurity I see this a lot. This is an issue that comes up more often than you might think. Again, I fully support your objectives, but just wanted to offer an alternative viewpoint that your project might want to revisit down the road if the current policy doesn’t achieve the results that you’re hoping for.

In the meantime, I certainly wish you every possible success! You’re taking a #thoughtleadership stance on an important #AIgovernance policy issue that is important to society and to #FOSS right now. I think that’s terrific!

Maybe I should keep a log of the biggest piece of AI-generated code that worked flawlessly.

Yesterday: 679 lines of python, generated by Google Gemini 2.5 pro.

I remember, half a year ago, I was impressed by something like 100 lines of Javascript code that worked without any bug.

Would be an interesting graph to see...

I assess the state of dev tools in the AI-assisted coding era: from AI plugins for common IDEs, to agentic IDEs, to cloud native AI tooling. As you might imagine, it's an incredibly crowded field of AI coding vendors. I'm not a professional dev, but for my various web projects I use a combo of VS Code + Copilot (I do want to try Google's one too), ChatGPT (I pay for the Pro version) and playing around with new apps like Bolt and Warp. How about you? thenewstack.io/ai-powered-codi #AIcoding
