Key quotes
· 4 pulledSo, this is awkward. I've joined Cristina, Jakob, Ramiz, Vegard, Armin, and Colin at Earendil. And I'm taking pi, the little coding agent that could, with me.
I've been doing OSS since 2009ish. My first 'success story' was libGDX, a cross-platform game development framework. Back in 2011, it was all the rage and the most used game framework on Android.
The world of AI coding assistants has changed dramatically in the last few years. From early prototypes to sophisticated models that can understand context, generate code, and even debug.
I'm joining Earendil because I believe in their vision for the future of development tools. We're at an inflection point where AI is becoming an integral part of the programming workflow.
