Code is ephemeral. Apps are going to be replaced instead of maintained. GenAI has changed every part of software engineering and enterprise application acquisition.
Well you make the assumption the new code will be worse.
I don’t think that will be true.
Note: if you haven’t used Claude since December then you’ve not seen the massive difference in quality code generation. All the studies prior to December are irrelevant.
I was a career Microsoft stack developer until Azure. Comparing it to AWS immediately forced me to make a decision to move away from their stack and towards AWS.
Just the networking and security infrastructure was complete trash compared to how those things worked in AWS.
Meanwhile Claude Code is still awesome. I don’t see my self switching to OpenAI (seriously bad mgmt and possibly the first domino to fall if there is a correction) or Gemini (Google ethics cough cough).
Gemini is a terrible product, I spent $15K on it. Anthropic and OpenAI make better models, it used to be that Gemini cooked but I don't feel that way anymore
I’ve been using Claude to build native versions of a couple of apps and what was once unthinkable (maintaining multiple code bases) is now fairly trivial. And Electron/Tauri implementations are high quality.
I’m not sure platforms like Maui are necessary anymore.
I did note the comment “if you don’t want Liquid Glass” as a direct response to GenAI native development.
