Пост шутит о том, что Tailwind стал настолько популярен благодаря AI-агентам для написания кода, что люди перестали посещать документацию. Поскольку в документации продвигались платные продукты, падение трафика привело к снижению выручки и массовым увольнениям — ироничный пример того, как успех продукта навредил бизнес-модели. EN: The post jokes that Tailwind became so popular through AI coding agents that people stopped visiting its documentation. Since the documentation promoted paid products, the traffic decline led to reduced revenue and mass layoffs—an ironic example of product success hurting the business model.
