OpenAI is planning to unify its ChatGPT app, coding platform Codex and browser into a desktop “superapp,” a step to simplify the user experience and continue with efforts to focus on engineering and business customers.
Smashing a quasi-IDE into a goofy web browser is so silly-sounding (and unlikely to simplify anything) that I almost believe the WSJ misunderstood what it was told.
Software developers tend to be do-one-job Unix people or do-everything super-app kitchen-sink people.
They both generally think the other group is insane.
