alt Hacker NewsWould you entertain the idea that "work was never the bottleneck", or even "building products was never the bottleneck"?
We need to address Jevons' Paradox somehow.

I love Jevons’ paradox too, but if we apply it here don’t we still end up with more software?
Definitely would entertain -- I do agree with your framing. I just think the article undersells the impact of fast+cheap codegen.
Lowering the cost of implementation will (has) expose new bottlenecks elsewhere. But imho many of those bottlenecks probably weren’t worth serious investment in solving before. The codegen change will shift that.
