I'm curious how well this will do. Marketing websites are extremely important for first impressions (unless you're Berkshire Hathaway [1]). Although this is impressive and unique, it took me a minute to get over the "learning curve".

Reminds me of Jakob's Law, "Users spend most of their time on other sites. This means that users prefer your site to work the same way as all the other sites they already know" [2].

But given your target audience is developers, this might actually do well.

I wonder what the ad costs and why it's there in the first place

I wonder how much, if anything, Geico pays to advertise on that page.

Zero, as Geico is owned by Berkshire.
