Don’t get it. Cheaper ways of doing software have been always available; that doesn’t mean they are the best way. You get what you pay for, as usual. Anybody thinking that 2025 AI is some sort of magical “free lunch” device, is just delusional.

Agreed, either you get bit by your choice early on and can’t ship, or you ship and get bit later when trying to maintain the puddle of guck you just shipped.

If you don’t know how to do it, you don’t know how to do it. Learn how to do it.

That paying more insures quality software delivered by humans is delusional as well.

Half the early startup code I’ve seen delivered by agencies can best be described as performance art.

At least with AI delivered code the most likely output is some middle of the road boilerplate.
