Perfect timing from Windsurf - future for medium sized AI startups is uncertain and $3B are a lot of money.

damn, I wonder what happens to incoming new grad engineer kids at windsurf, do they just lose their jobs?

[colesantiago → adamTensor]

they are openai engineers now with significant pay packages

[notyourwork → colesantiago]

Or just standard pay packages.

[adamTensor → notyourwork]

Or just laid off?? Windsurf is pretty big with 200 people.
