It won’t be cheaper for long. It creates a ton of bugs and outright removed features. Without real devs to fix it, companies who replace devs with AI will be left with products that simply don’t work in a matter of months.
Absolutely, but cheaper now is all that matters to the Dunning-Kruger c-suit that runs every business. Besides, they might have already moved on to a different company by the time it becomes a problem, so why should they care?
AI can code better than most humans? BS. Only takes a few features to end up with spaghetti.
I wonder if some bolognese would make it a little bit better… I’ll see myself out
In my experience it doesn’t even take a few features, a medium-size non-trivial script by Claude would not pass review by me without human cleanup.
It doesn’t have to be better, just cheaper.
Do you know why software gets expensive?

You tried adding stuff to a spaghetti code base or tried fixing bugs? Half the time you need to rewrite it. It’s not cheaper, you just pay more later.
If it’s cheaper this financial quarter then they don’t care if they have to pay for it the next financial quarter. That’s a future problem!
The same is true of most software built by humans, and AI is able to refactor, if you ask it to.
Not in my experience.
