Definitely not the grandson of Microsoft Bob.

I hate EVERYTHING about this generic looking product. But I think they're probably referencing... Bob the Builder [1]? Maybe?

Say what you will about Microsoft Bob - that one at least had a soul even if it was twisted and dark.

Sigh. Remember when IBM did neat stuff like Deep Blue and Watson?

I agree, it looks like an IBM-mediocre version of every other LLM coding tool that currently exists.
