Yes, they pivoted hard from playground to AI codegen.

It was an interesting service, but I guess AI pays better.

I suspect the problem is that the previous model didn't pay at all. I've used it a lot to try out code snippets, but no one pays for that. It was one of those services that a product would outgrow well before you could imagine spending serious money on it.

It is a shame they didn't find traction with the learn to code without all the hassle angle they once had.
