They have a video on their YC page: https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/OgV-chad-ide-the-first-...
stephenmac98•3mo ago
They also have a typo on their description... "AI coding creates a time span isn't long enough to do something new, and it's not short enough to be entirely negligible" Should say "that isn't long enough" or "which isn't long enough"

Always good to see people who give a shit getting rich off the results of their work /s

nicolaslem•3mo ago
Please tell me this is satire.
oldsklgdfth•3mo ago
I suspect that's how it started and then put it out there and gained momentum. Possibly as a joke.

As a note on satire, is there a term for satire which is perpetuated for long enough that is take seriously at some point by someone?

I have been referring to this pattern as "the pizzagate phenomenon". Basically, making a joke repeatedly until it reaches an audience that's not in on the joke. It is not quite a "self-fulfilling prophecy.

quantified•3mo ago
Asking Gemini (ironically), I come up with Poe's Law.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law]

> Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture which states that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent (such as an emoticon or a disclaimer), it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views. This "law" describes exactly the scenario you've outlined: a joke or satirical statement, especially online where tone and body language are absent, is perpetuated long enough that it reaches an audience not "in on the joke" and is subsequently believed to be a genuine viewpoint.

noir_lord•3mo ago
Poe's Law is infamous if you are a slashdot reader of a certain age.
oldsklgdfth•3mo ago
Yup, that's it! Thanks for the link.

I kinda explain a lot odd stuff through this lens.

quantified•3mo ago
Pizzagate was not satire, though. It was malicious disinformation. Aka lies.
whattheheckheck•3mo ago
Specifically to prepoison the collective consciousness to gloss over the newly revealed facts that real active politicians have participated in a large international trafficking ring

Yeah sure but Ycombinator still wrote them a $500.000 check

numpad0•3mo ago
Doesn't seem like that much bad of an idea tbh.
conartist6•3mo ago
This isn't a joke? YC really wrote them a check? For 500,000?
camillomiller•3mo ago
It did
conartist6•3mo ago
This bothered me but the longer I think about it the more I think I get the idea.

It's a gambling company, really. The product is a slot-machine-like interface for software mining.

camillomiller•3mo ago
And that makes it better?
conartist6•2mo ago
It's better for me not to go insane. Gambling at least makes this sounds like greed, and greedy companies fit in my world view.

Does it disgust me? Sure. In the same way casinos disgust me because they know how to reprogram people and they do it. They're the reason my dad became estranged from his father and I never met my grandfather.

I think software is a tool to emplower people. These youngsters are selling the idea that it can be a tool to enslave.

But here's the thing. They have to go against me and I still believe in empowering people with software and I spend all my time working on IDEs, not as a joke but to free people from, well, the kind of betting-illiteracy slavery this startup proposes to foster

camillomiller•2mo ago
