No, you are wrong. IBMer here. I was at first agains it, my background is for 2 decades startup(s) before I joined IBM, and I started slowly using IBM Bob and I must say it is really good and helping. With many integrations that works :)
Is it true that employees have to earn Bobcoins before they can use Bob?
You get more bobcoins by using your old allowance and running out, then submitting GitHub issues that get ignored.
When people say they have been in startups for long periods, does this mean they worked at a chain of failed companies?
is bob helping with ur writing too? ;p
Are you allowed to use Cursor, Codex, Claude, or OpenCode or is Bob all they allow?
Official policy is to only use Bob. All of the best people I work with are using other tools because Bob is trash.
I have been told only Bob is allowed but not 100% on that.
What is good about it then? What model do you use? Which integration are we talking about? Is it open source? How much the "transparent pricing" "bobcoin" is worth?
It's not good, they hide the model (their whole thing is hidden model routing to keep costs low, but predictably yields bad results), there are no novel integrations not available in any other harness, it's closed source, and bobcoin is worthless because it's only usable with Bob.
Lol
lol, I've used it and Bob is a dumpster fire.
