CodeParrot, that YC-backed Indian AI startup, just shut down. 💔 They started in 2022 with a cool idea turning Figma designs and screenshots into working code using AI. Even had a VS Code plugin that was gaining traction. But after burning through $500K and stuck in constant pivots, they couldn’t raise more money. Their last version was making just $1.5K/month not enough to survive. One of the founders said something real: “Good prompts get you 90% there, but good evals are what really matter.” Shows how AI is still mostly just hard software work underneath. Sad to see it go. Just reminds how tough this AI startup game is, even with great tech and backing.
