SHOW NOTES:

Topic 1 - What happened (basics of the pricing change)?

Topic 2 - How was this communicated?

Topic 3 - Where was the confusion?

Topic 4 - Wasn’t this inevitable because of huge costs and funding rounds?

Topic 5 - How do we square the “developers don’t pay for anything” and “AI-native vs. AI-augmented” when developers are still in the loop?

Topic 6 - Does this inevitability mean AI coding-assistants can’t be a standalone business, but need to be in a bundle?

Topic 7 - WTF Windsurf?
