Isn't the benefit from LLM that anyone can create that little software that does scratch the particular needs the user has. Once scratched it's done its job. Rinse and repeat the next time. There is no longer the need to clean and maintain code for the next time. A bit like fast fashion! We are doomed.

Where’s the baseline? Most projects I’ve ever started since I was a teenager have been abandoned within months of release.

You were releasing projects teenage years? How many did you release?

I agree. This is nothing new. And I would even state, that this applies to every sort of idea. Not only coding projects. AI makes an idea life cycle only a bit faster in some cases.

Heck, most projects I've ever worked on professionally, with budgets in the millions, have been abandoned far earlier than any of the initial sponsors hoped.

Well if AI can accelerate the slopware -> abandonware lifecycle then maybe net gain? We can move on more quickly after setting fire to a zillion tokens.
