Key Info

A developer working on OpenCode Go describes it as the hardest project they've ever taken on, citing fierce competition, widespread fraud, and brutal economics in the AI coding space. They estimate only a 3% chance of success.

Highlights

  • OpenCode Go sits in one of the most competitive areas in tech, with "massive levels of fraud" affecting the market.
  • The economics of the AI coding agent business are extremely difficult to make work.
  • The author believes success is unlikely (~3%), and even if it happens, outsiders will treat it as inevitable rather than recognizing how precarious it was.
