@krisbuytaert@mastodon.social especially now that RAM and storage are 3-5x or even higher.

@krisbuytaert@mastodon.social Was immediately thinking of this article: https://www.jamesshore.com/v2/blog/2026/you-need-ai-that-reduces-your-maintenance-costs (if you still want AI, that is)

@krisbuytaert@mastodon.social What do you mean by "building software"? Does building include "that works and that is used and maintained over years and easy to adopt"? I think if you incorporate that you will find that the cost of "building software" has not sunken as much as OpenAI and Antrophic wants us to believe.

@krisbuytaert@mastodon.social That claim of the cost of developing software shrinking is yet to be proven.

@krisbuytaert@mastodon.social Only the short-term costs are going down. Long-term AI will cause way more problems than we solve by it. And what you said.

@krisbuytaert@mastodon.social Too true. And we don't make money building software. That's inventory. We make the money when that software is in production (where people can pay for it).
