I understand the cynism but it’s not the case here. Stainless isn't a case of blitzscaling or running a loss for years to destroy the competition. The motto of the company is polished and robust and we invested a lot into generating what we think are the highest quality SDKs available. We could have shipped things way, way faster if the focus on design and quality wasn’t such an essential part of the development process

No but Anthropic and OpenAI are very much trying to use their positions to destroy everyone's ability to do things without their product, make AI essential, and then jack prices. Thats the only way this becomes profitable.

It's not about Stainless, it's about Anthropic.

Don't you feel unqualified to make such statements since you have a obvious bias and extreme financial $tak€ here?

Did we all lose are critical thinking during COVID or something?

This comment reminds me of the general malaise affecting the public discourse in the US these days. "Don't listen to the experts, all the context and knowledge they have makes them biased!!"

Of course Sam is "qualified" to speak to the ethos of Stainless, he was there longer than anyone except the founder.

Obviously not, I do feel more than qualified given that I actively contributed to developing the company. None of what I wrote in the comment you responded to is a secret or is based on my personal judgement, we’ve been open about our values
