I just wanted be a fly on the wall when Fig founders were pitching to these investors on how they are gonna make money.

Can NOT this tool say to my employer - How many times I compile my code in a day ?

When I get a compilation error - how quickly it gets to compiling state again ?

Was the compilation error a trivial mistake ?

How much time is spent between each commands ?

How productive I am keying in command one after another ?

Also can NOT Fig figure out current apps Im running on my machine ?

What is the current app in foreground ?

How long I run each app ?

When I log off ?

How many times I log off ?

It is getting interesting! Can anybody help with more usecases.

Your employer's group policy controls, management agents, etc. that control access to their internal network can (and are) already telling them all of that information. They're basically rootkits that run anything they want on computers that access their network. Usually they just distribute certs, keys, etc. or remotely wipe a lost/stolen machine, but the capability is there to do anything.

I think you misunderstand how tools like this sell, the enterprise offering will be fully supported integration of tools that are enterprisey (Cisco gear, Netapp, Fortinet, Xen, VMware, Veeam) and a hosted offering so teams can collaborate on scripts and snippets á la postman.

I saw the first few commands of the video on their site and I'm like "wait Wtf a visual representation of what hitting tab-tab does already? That can't be it"

But yes that's basically it. You have _all_ of this already and all it needs is for whatever tool you have to provide the "completion" definition file. The graphical nature of this makes it _less_ useful (as others have pointed out w/ regards to no Linux support). How this would sell to enterprise I do not get.

Kudos to them for getting funding for this tho. I wish I had the guts to take something that already exists better and free and ask for someone to pay me money to try and sell it to other people instead.

That’s one theoretical way to make money, except not only do few companies do this now, but few devs would accept that.

There are other ways to support developers thru honest tooling (eg IntelliJ).

That would be a completely useless metric.

Also, don't you have a daily build pipeline anyways?

While debugging and coding.

Wait until they learn about incremental rebuild!
