Fig (fig.io) is def one of the more bizarre YC companies. I... just don’t see a Mac-only closed-source terminal auto-complete app being worth the millions invested in it. Business is supposedly to sell the product to SREs & other biz with internal CLI apps.

what the hell is going on with all these VCs pumping massive amounts of cash into deadend devtools companies???

how am I missing where the fat wads of cash for devtools are expected to come from???

I wonder if this is people seeing VS Code's success and thinking they can jump on the bandwagon WITHOUT the massive support of an entire well-funded division that's able to funnel VS Code usage towards paying products and services?....

@zkat i mean borland kind of did it for a while, but the danger is the platform (os) provider will always have the advantage when offering dev tools.
