Thursday evening: Windsurf hosted their first community build night in SF. 200 developers, live demos of Wave 10 (Planning Mode, browser integration), MCP plugin architecture, real projects built in hours.

Friday afternoon: OpenAI acquisition canceled, CEO Varun Mohan and co-founder Douglas Chen join Google DeepMind for agentic coding initiatives. The timing is remarkable. We witnessed what may have been the final public appearance of Windsurf's founding team as an independent company, completely unaware of what was coming.

The technical demos were impressive - DOM-aware browser integration, AI agents with standardized tool access via MCP, enterprise admin controls. The community energy was genuine.

Curious about HN's take on:

* What this means for the AI development tools space

* Whether the remaining team can maintain momentum

The pace of change in this industry continues to be extraordinary.
