Behold, the future of software development: disposable slop!
Why maintain software for decades when you can just abandon it and make a completely new one 3 months later? Don’t need to maintain the code if you just throw it away and build a new one instead.
And all it will cost is a massive amount of AI tokens and environmental damage.

At least it doesn’t come wrapped in plastic, though I guess big tech will figure out a way to do that too in the next few years

Hopefully we will see a lot less of it with the cost of AI going up. Eventually it will just be the big companies that can afford it.
