Huge news! OpenAI reaches agreement to buy startup Windsurf for $3 Billion according to Bloomberg News. Windsurf is an AI code editor, similar to Cursor and GitHub Copilot. Windsurf and Cursor are the 2 most prominent players in the AI IDE space right now. Both of them have grown fast and shipped a ton new and innovative features extremely quickly to make software development with AI a breeze. OpenAI buying one of them is a big deal and could shake things up a lot. For example, Windsurf getting priority access to OpenAI models, or being included in the OpenAI subscription would definitely drive up the adoption for Windsurf and bring even more competition to Cursor. I'm excited to see where this goes & what both of them come up with next!

Hey All. Sorry for being silent for the last several weeks. I have had some trouble getting on here since I started my new role. On a related note, since the new role is contract I've continued interviewing elsewhere. I have a full loop with one of the FAANG companies this week. I don't want to say who yet but I will be sharing my notes and other materials I generate while prepping for their System design and DSA interviews.
