@jamesthomson@mastodon.social it’s the drug dealer model. Literally. “Oh, are you now completely hooked on our product, to where stopping using it would take months if not years? Cool, cool, here’s your 150% price increase.”
“We can’t afford that!”
“Have you considered eating out less?”

@bynkii@mastodon.social @jamesthomson@mastodon.social Yup. my company now has an entire "platform" vibe-coded up by one dude. When the price jacks up there's no way my CEO will pay for the headcount to maintain it, he'll pay the slop-fee. (at least the architecture is based on my work so at least someone understands that).
