Quality buys you user retention/longevity. You can't retain users you don't have though, and getting users now is brutal.
replyFeatures get users, but features introduce complexity, bugs, technical debt, and maintenance expenses.
replyMore so this complexity requires that you have support for your users, and QA of weird functional interactions across systems boundaries that you just can't test for when actually writing the code.
This gets expensive really fast.
Complex software is hard, yo.
Getting users was always brutal
replyI totally agree here. AI coding is raising the ceiling in terms of code quantity, but it also lowers the floor on quality, right into the sewer.
replyFortunately experienced developers are in the best position to use these tools properly, evaluate what works and what doesn't. We might drown in slop first though.
