It’s not just code quality, it’s all the other business fundamentals like the product itself having value.

I see this in a very non-AI way working at a company that’s a hodgepodge of acquisitions. Some of our products just don’t make a lot of money, don’t resonate, or are behind the competition in various ways.

The amount of code or general engineering complexity of the application seems completely detached from profitability a lot of times.

Now the bar is going to be higher for software to actually be worth buying when it’s so easy to make your own for yourself, so that also means that our ability to pump out code loses value.
