Developer tools want to increase developer adoption. Duh!

But let me pose this to you:

If 1000 people adopted your tool, then left after a year, would you consider that a success?

I think I hear you shouting NOOOOO all the way from here in my basement.

You want adoption, but what you need is absorption.

You not only need developers to adopt your product, but you also want to be considered critical to their ongoing success so they don't churn. (This will be the downfall of a lot of novel AI tools if they don't pay attention.)

Have a lovely day,
