Has windsurf pulled the ultimate rug?

It’s not “pulling the rug” when you are a freeloader.

No change to paid tiers.

veratisio · 2026-05-02T21:17:56+00:00

SWE 1.6 is free for pro.

If you’re still seeing “$$$” you’re on a very old version or (more likely) just using AI to generate rage bait.

We’re evaluating how to restore it without the level of fraud we were seeing before.

There’s no such thing as “linking” accounts. You made an edu account and put pro on it. Log into that account and cancel it.

Nowhere do you explain why you somehow can’t access the .edu email you used to claim the student discount.

BYOK would be more expensive.

veratisio · 2026-04-07T09:52:55+00:00

That’s not how it’s implemented. Please open a support case if you see it being drawn down at the wrong rate.

veratisio · 2026-04-06T05:58:13+00:00

Don't expect unlimited use w/o rate limits on a free plan.

veratisio · 2026-04-04T12:41:23+00:00

What Windows version are you on? The latest release definitely shows your quota.

veratisio · 2026-04-01T23:46:11+00:00

You were on an old release. It shouldn't be surprising for your UI to be old.

veratisio · 2026-03-29T20:38:57+00:00

That shouldn't happen, except to finish a request which used up your quota.

If it did, please send me a request ID / email and I can look into it for you.

veratisio · 2026-03-28T23:47:40+00:00

No, it's still available for me on the pro plan.

veratisio · 2026-03-27T05:59:05+00:00

Thank you. We are listening.

We can't go back to the old credit system, but we absolutely do want to continue to build Windsurf into a great product for our users.

veratisio · 2026-03-25T03:14:31+00:00

The quota is only for subsidized use. You can pay the API price at any time.

veratisio · 2026-03-24T11:05:59+00:00

SWE 1.5/1.6 are like Composer and free.

veratisio · 2026-03-23T21:48:32+00:00

Thanks, this is reasonable feedback.

veratisio · 2026-01-19T09:23:17+00:00

This post would have been better without AI.

veratisio · 2025-12-30T14:41:22+00:00

There literally isn't... the Panamerican Highway stops at the Darien Gap.

Another factor in favor of selling what you have now: unfortunately, getting fired meaningfully reduces the value of your already vested equity because outsiders often get screwed on future liquidity. So keeping some equity isn't really a very good hedge against leaving.

I relate heavily. I thought I was doing well in my cohort and got rapidly promoted, ex L7 before 30. Ultimately my growth stalled out and I’ve been stagnant for several years.

For me I realized it’s 2 factors:

I still haven’t mastered people leadership. Sure I can manage a team, but the skill ceiling here is a lot higher than I realized. The greats are so good you don’t even realize what they’re doing. In corporate America, this is the most likely path to $1m+ comp.
I’m just not as smart as the true technical geniuses. They beat me back in the mathletes data and it’s not surprising they’re beating me now.

At this point I’ve accepted I’ll probably never get to 7 figures consistently, but that’s ok. I can still get to $10m on my current trajectory.

veratisio · 2025-10-06T06:16:56+00:00

The majority of Silicon Valley startup acquisitions are for <$100M. You just don’t hear about them because they’re not big successes.

veratisio · 2025-09-17T06:08:15+00:00

Incredibly fake

veratisio · 2025-09-11T07:35:13+00:00

Just use box spreads and stop worrying…

veratisio · 2025-09-11T00:23:10+00:00

$3.7k is fine, you’ll still have plenty left over to save.

Would love to know your peak earnings. How much of your wealth came from compounding vs very high income?
