And for most companies, good enough is sufficient.
The companies will weigh a good developer who gets sick and needs training compared to an AI who works seven by 24 and other complaints.
Additionally there is a saying "Only a Buddha can recognize a Buddha".
No product manager or senior manager can recognize a good developer.

This is an unpopular opinion around here, but in the already malignant cesspool that is mobile apps, somewhere between the raw sewage and the slop, I like to think someone will build something good that wouldn't have existed otherwise.

Maybe a good designer can get acceptable code or a good coder can get acceptable design and the mix will be better than the existing crap.

Anyone can generate an app. But the app is untested, unmaintained, unsupportable, and not sustainable.

An app has a lifecycle which takes knowledgeable people to support.

Ask yourself why you wanted to generate an app in the first place, if you don't have software skills.

So I personally check if the app existed before sloppification (B.S.) and only then I bother actually checking.

It's unavoidable. Get on board or get left behind.
Just like the Metaverse. Or Blockchain. Or tulips.

I expect the review numbers to spike soon. As soon as they have figured out how to have AI bots review AI apps that get downloaded by fake AI users. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

1. How do they find us and our work, after being drowned in slop?
2. How many companies are going to go bankrupt or have to significantly downsize after they went all in on AI and are now finding it doesn't do what they want, and costs more than they can afford?

Showing that the financial sector, if nobody else, is beginning to understand that "Agentic AI" is workflows largely implemented as hand-coded functions that don't use neural nets in any signifant way whatsoever.

Just saying, "Agentic" never really meant anything, but those of us who will be kicked out if we don't ship AI are implementing things that work.

It comes from a sticker, "writing code was never the bottleneck."
Deciding the right thing to build, the right way to build, marketing it, acquiring and retaining users, and getting them to pay. These were the real bottlenecks. AI hasn't accelerated any of them.

Accelerating the non bottleneck part of a system doesn't make the system better. It makes it worse.
