    Remember back in 2014 when automating with heuristics was the future of making your code better?

    Codacy is now a somber reminder of what happens when your startup get the short end of the disruption stick. With generative AI on the rise, it seems they have been struggling to keep up.

    Layoffs and bad Glassdoor reviews don't paint a pretty picture either. It seems like they changed investors, but are still struggling to find product-market fit again.

    Yesterday's winner can be today's cautionary tale.
