i fail to understand what makes this $3B valuation justified.

i built my personal code assistant after using cursor/windsurf/aider/cline because i was frustrated with how crappy they worked for my use case. i only program in python/js/html/css and i needed something better. only took me an hour of prompting and after that tinycoder basically built itself from there on out. i still use vscode to inspect the code sometimes, but i might replace vscode ultimately too.

source code at https://github.com/koenvaneijk/tinycoder and contributions welcome obviously.

If you think about it, facebook is just a ui over a database. Google is just a html form for a list of pages and hacker news can be replicated with a Microsoft Access.

If that seems stupid, is because it is. There are network effects and small UI benefits.
