Terrible stuff and a reddish flag. First of all, gpt signs all over the blog post, reads like a bottom of the barrel linkedin post.

But more importantly, why double and triple down on no RAG? As with most techniques, it has its merits in certain scenarios. I understand getting VC money so you have to prove differentiation and conviction in your approach, but why do it like this? What if RAG does end up being useful? You'll just have to admit you were wrong and cursor and others were right? I don't get it.

Just say we don't believe RAG is as useful for now and we take a different approach. But tripling down on a technique so early into such a new field seems immature to me. It screams of wanting to look different for the sake of it.
