If you look at their leadership. They have no one who knows how to code & understand's their core product at the helm. No one in their leadership team could use cypress themselves.
Decision like this come from the leadership team, and I don't think they have people with enough sense of what they're actually doing -- breaking trust with their end customers to understand this is terrible idea.
It smells a lot like what happened with Unity a few weeks ago. It's the same story. Leadership team weren't actually users of the product, they didn't understand that the company's key value was the trust they've built with the customers and they broke it.

- encoderer 3y agoA few years ago I was evaluating cypress as an eng director at a large tech company. The cypress team came out to visit. It’s true the ceo was a sales guy but the founder came also and he was a true hacker. Maybe he’s not involved anymore?
