They will keep trying. The half-glass full perspective is that decentralized open source tech will gain traction as a reaction. As will localism. There is opportunity in every adversity.

Today weβre excited to release the redesign of StashPay. I was fortunate to get @Lee Gordon to join me on the project and it was a blast to be able to work together again. So massive shout out to him. Iβm excited to see where we go from here!

Agent mode in vscode is awesome. Best of both worlds. Let the AI do the coding but also fix it quickly when it hallucinates. Itβs like delegating feature tickets to a junior dev while allowing me to focus on reviewing/merging and architecture. I also find it easier to get the thing I want by making specific prompts than vibe coding the whole thing. Plus I still have an understanding of the code and can keep eye on security/privacy.
I just implemented fiat currency selection in StashPay this way. Also asked the AI to sort the listed currencies in the UI by global usage to reduce the time users need to select their desired currency. It sorted them by global demand and forex market volume.
Such a powerful tool to get high quality results with a quick iteration cycle.
