      You tried adding stuff to a spaghetti code base or tried fixing bugs? Half the time you need to rewrite it. It’s not cheaper, you just pay more later.

        If it’s cheaper this financial quarter then they don’t care if they have to pay for it the next financial quarter. That’s a future problem!

        Absolutely, but cheaper now is all that matters to the Dunning-Kruger c-suit that runs every business. Besides, they might have already moved on to a different company by the time it becomes a problem, so why should they care?

          Pretty much this. The business model now is create your killer app with AI, get it to where it JUST works, then sell the whole company to a bigger fish that has devs that can fix things. Rinse and repeat.
