Control, Context, and Code: Windsurf’s Quiet Revolution in Developer Tools

Tech Snippets Today with Joseph Raczynski

Ever wonder what happens when the future of software meets the sharpest minds in AI—right as acquisition rumors swirl? At the AI+ Expo in Washington, DC, I sat down with Anshul Ramachandran, founding team member at Windsurf (formerly Codeium), just as whispers of an OpenAI buyout electrified the halls.

Ramachandran’s resume reads like a Silicon Valley power map—Caltech grad, stints at Google, Facebook, Zoox, and Nuro—but his real claim to fame is redefining how developers work with AI. Windsurf isn’t here to replace coders with robots; it’s here to supercharge them, weaving AI into the very fabric of the developer’s workflow. From context-aware code suggestions to multi-file magic, Ramachandran’s vision is all about keeping humans at the helm, with AI as the ultimate co-pilot.

In this episode, we decode the art of staying in the flow, the science of context, and why the best tools don’t automate away your job—they make you unstoppable. If you’re curious about the next leap in software, or just want to know what’s really happening behind those Windsurf headlines, hit play. The future of coding is about to get personal.
