Maybe I should qualify that as "lasting value" to better put it in perspective.

I highly admire your success if 95% of the code you have written is worth something, especially money.

I could be wrong but I respect that number as an outstanding outlier, maybe I'm just underestimating what average professionals are capable of, but I would think you are still head & shoulders above most of them with stats like that.

95% of my code has ended up in the garbage bin, not even recycle, and I'm no professional so maybe I'm just grossly overestimating the number of pure software companies that failed without ever issuing a commercial product of any kind because their extreme programming effort was not able to be brought to a logical enough conclusion for monetization to take place.

I can be a dingbat sometimes but I'm completely in awe of the value of deeper experience and nearly-universal success like that :)

How well have you done when it comes to AI so far, and where do you see the money being made over both the short-term and long term where opportunities still exist?
