@sd141414: Cheap software doesn’t reduce the amount of software being built. It increases the number of systems worth building. As the cost drops, the return on judgment goes up. That’s why new roles will emerge around coordination, ownership, and boundaries. This is less about writing code and more about coordination and deciding which systems should exist at all. #softwareengineering #systemsthinking #engineeringcareers #aiandengineering #architecture

Oh yeah, a new "everyone's a developer thanks to Excel"… 😭 The power to create guérilla tools at an unprecedented rate: what could go wrong? Yes I see what you hint at…

Not happening right now. They decided to fire workers to get more GPU.

Wait until the vendors start charging the real cost for tokens

You make it sound you are going to do this without engineers which is just not going to happen. But your premise is true it’s called Jevon’s paradox. Demand for engineers will actually increase because of it.

Interesting point but still hard to defend price/value of software increasing. The bottleneck was always human ability to manually produce code

Exactly! More products. More money for everyone to make. It’s getting started so jump and try to win.

Steve, what's your thoughts on the speculation that OpenAI might go bankrupt by 2027? AI is here to stay, but not really at the expectations the stake holders have for it. And also, there are cheaper and even better and free models compared to GPT5.

More semi-polished apps will reduce productivity and not increase it.

Agree with you, lowering the cost of building leads to more software and there will need to be people who can coordinate across those systems. What’s less clear is how that will actually net out in terms of actual jobs, will the increase in need for coordination roles offset the reduction in need for pure feature build and execution?

AI doesn’t lower the cost, no one has rolled out the bill for the computing power yet 😎

Distribution becomes way more difficult when everyone can spin up a similar tool with a few prompts. Competition will be huge

Let's not forget that not everyone will start coding… in the upcoming era personal trust, credibility and responsibilities will stand out in the crowd of ex-developers. To sell software you need many other components. So it's hardly soo fundamentally shifting.

Software sprawl is going to be a mess. And we thought BYOD was bad... I'm guilty of already considering which personal apps I create to do my job better - and I have had a successful start.
