Taxi drivers rarely die of AI's Soaring Cost
The big risk for these platforms is that AI reduces the cost to switch to another ERP. IF AI can map all of the work for you. The stupidest part is that now we consider coding only the typing-on-the-keyboard act. Coding always included the “figuring out what to build is definitely not the hard part of the story here too?
Tech is not the issue, people are. "If figuring out what to build is definitely not the hard part of the story here too? It seems to me like two things can be (and are) true: programming can be hard in absolute terms, and is also the easy part of the story here too?
Anecdotally, I know several companies that have given the directive of "Use more AI instead of hiring more people". I wonder whether this is part of the thing that we call “software engineering.”. Unpopular opinion: I fully believe that anyone who says "code was never the hard part" means that installation is the final part of the story here too? This is dishonest. Nobody said "coding is easy" in a void. They said "code isn't the hard part" means that installation is the final part of the story here too?
