CodeRabbit CEO Harjot Gill argues that even larger seed rounds ($8M+) are no longer enough to build a software business, since 'software factories' need quality tokens for CI, sandboxes and infrastructure — leaving small startups as idea funnels for bigger players. Greptile's Daksh Gupta disagrees: coding agents give ambitious startups unprecedented leverage, labs keep cutting prices, and the disruption is shifting power from incumbents to upstarts, a view Garry Tan amplified.
