Man, that's a big title. I can't wait to see the data on how the cost has dropped so far.

> AI Agents however in my mind massively reduce...

Nevermind. It's a vibe 90%.





That. I was expecting some overview of the last couple of decades in a "There's no Silver Bullet" fashion.

Instead it's some guy that claims it takes a team to make CI/CD for something he can vibe-code in a day, and that agentic code totally solves the complexity problems caused by too much React.


Even if that were true, so we've made development needlessly more complicated, only to gain back the time lost by running numberwang across enough datacenters to fill a small country? You haven't abstracted anything away, Morty, just created another layer of shit.

Oh, if LLMs did actually solve the problem of too much React, that would by itself drop the cost of doing the software the author cares about by close to 90%.

And yes, it's a completely self-imposed problem that many people don't have at all. But LLMs make it worse, and the author is celebrating that it's worse now.
