alt Hacker NewsI understood it in the spirit of “code is a liability not an asset.” Code still needs to be maintained, changed, etc whether that is by a human or LLM.
In other words, just because more code can be produced quickly does not mean that it is cheap.
edit: I’m maybe hearing your point is that LLMs may change that POV but I think that is TBD.
I don't really think that's accurate either, from a business POV.
Software has been such a gold mine, exactly because the maintenance are minimal when you scale, compared to the revenue. The upfront costs are expensive, but once you have software built, in most cases it's relatively cheap to maintain
