I like Windsurf and that is an _odd_ feeling. In part because it does feel like I’m working with a very smart junior developer.
It allows me to do documentation driven design in my hobby work and as a result has restored a great deal of joy in that process. Genuinely a surprise for me.
Tried all the front runners and only Windsurf gave me this feeling. Happy for their success. Less happy that my current $10/mo sub might get locked behind a $$$ bundle because someone in the OpenAI c-suite said “Finally, some steak to help sell our sizzle!”
