I find this thought process somewhat faulty given that the vast majority of software ends up in that spot regardless.

Hard to take this as that big a deal when Google literally launched a product along similar social themes named "Google Buzz" which lasted all of like 16 months in 2010, well before agents and llms.

Either the project will find a fit, or it won't - and code quality doesn't have all that much to do with it existing in 2 years (some - but not as much as engineers want to believe).

Argument similar to: people still get hurt riding a skate without a helmet, why do I need it anyway?

If you can point me at any actual data that Saas companies are more like to be abandonware if AI is used... sure.

But my experience with startups is that the odds are great they're ALL going to be abandonware in a couple years.

Ex - 50% of every company started is out of business in 5 years.
