This is a very strange statement. People don't always announce when they use AI for writing their software since it's a controversial topic. And it's a sliding scale. I'm pretty sure a large fraction of new software has some AI involved in its development.

I think this might miss the point. We put off upgrading to an new RMM at work because I was able to hack together some dashboards in a couple days. It's not novel and does exactly what we need it to do, no more. We don't need to pay 1000's of dollars a month for the bloated Solarwinds stack. We aren't saving lives, we're saving PDFs so any arguments about 5 9s and maintainability are irrelevant. LLMs are going to give us on demand, one off software. I think the SaaS market is terrified right now because for decades they've gouged customers for continual bloat and lock in that now we can escape from. In a single day I was able to build an RMM that fits our needs exactly. We don't need to hire anyone to maintain it because it's simple, like most business applications should be, but SV needs to keep complicating their offerings with bloat to justify crazy monthly costs that should have been a one time purchase from the start. SV shot itself in the face with AI.

To be fair, Claude Code is vibe-coded. It's a terrible piece of software from an engineering (and often usability) standpoint, and the problems run deeper than just the choice of JavaScript. But it is good enough for people to get what they want out of it.
