This author trieds hard to do a pragmatic view. He does not mention ethical or ecological concerns (which should matter far more and subject to legal regulation IMO).

Instead, he focuses on the quality topic. His thinking is that companies are doing now a kind of quality arbitrage: Companies can make low-quality code at far cheaper costs, and sellthe result still at human-made prices. Which will only work for so long, he thinks: Customers will demand lower prices. (Easy to imagine a quality downward spiral.)

Which invokes the question: What has happened that people accept lower and lower quality? Is new software nowadays still really useful?

Context collapse and hallucination in the face of anything novel has been my experience 90% of the time. I even tried context compression by trying to do the research, test spec, plan, code tests, product spec, plan, code product method, but then the issue was the plan satisfied the AI too quick ("actually we already test all of the code, you can see that by reading the "we test all of the code" spec").
