During the demo they quickly shuffled off of, the air flow lines completely broke. It was just a few dots moving left to right, changing the angle of the surface showed no visual difference in airflow.
Sadly it's hard to argue the effect that KR is having is "positive".
KR stood up by working closely with Pivotal who supplied both the Pivots to pair program with the comparatively inexperienced AF devs as well as the deployment platform.
While the means are debatable, the ends that Units supplying devs to KR had to face we're not. Those Units got back programmers completely reliant on Pivotal Cloud Foundary. You would get devs that had no concept of what happens to their code after they run `cf push` and the Units had to face the reality that their devs were ineffective without PCF which costed 10's of millions to purchase and maintain by a team of Pivotal engineers.
Obviously Pivotal is a company that exists to make profit but smaller units that supplied devs to KR largely felt taken advantage of. And after that you had things like SpaceCamp, LevelUp, Platform1, that are very similar to KR just without the heavy reliance on Pivotal or their products popping up left and right.
Now that it's gone on for so long even leadership in KR is getting pressured to actually produce a product ready app for all the money that's been dumped. They have plenty of MVP's but afaik nothing to big AF's satisfaction.
At least from a lowly enlisted programmers perspective you can live in Boston in civilian clothes for 6 months.
