Oh, you want to know why?
Key facts
- About 5-9 years in, they’d notice their teams were no longer getting shit done, and then they’d call me
- Let’s say you asked a crowd of, say, 50 developers what those maintenance costs
- Halving the crowd’s maintenance estimates gives you three more years before you hit the 50% mark
- 1 You’re welcome to conduct your own wisdom-of-the-crowd survey
Summary
The reporter will get straight to the point: your AI coding agent, the one you use to write code, needs to reduce your maintenance costs. Not by a little bit, either. You write code twice as quick now? Every line of code you write has to be maintained: bug fixes, cleanup, dependency upgrades, and so forth. Let’s say you asked a crowd of, say, 50 developers what those maintenance costs were. Your crowd might tell you that, for each month you spend writing code, you’ll spend.
