It only makes sense if you don't have any competitors. More than 50% of software projects fail either because they run over time or over budgetl, but for obvious reason both. So you get this tool that increase your output, let's say 10x. Does that mean that you can fire 9/10 developers? What does your competitors do? If they retain their developers they can smoke your company in months. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 1 point 1 week ago The reason a lot of these enterprises are looking to offload developers is because they see AI as accelerating their workforce. These businesses are doing the same thing as they were before, but with AI, which means they don't have enough workload to justify having that many people on anymore (as long as they are using AI workloads). If one developer with AI can do the work of 3 to 10 developers without AI the logic is that they can have their developer headcount and still be ahead. Not that I agree with what they're doing, but this is the logic behind it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] acchariya@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (2 children) This assumes 10x the features at 2/3 the quality is a winning bet permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] chilicheeselies@lemmy.world 1 point 1 week ago (1 child) The quality doesn't matter. Look at a product like netsuite which dominates corporate accounting. It's a total piece of shit. And overpriced one at that. But it has oracle in the name, so an executive can choose it with little thought and not take any blame because it was a "reasonable" choice that "everyone" uses. Much of corporate life is monkey see monkey do. Rarely does innovation happen because trying something different is a huge risk to some middle manager or execute that is just trying to make it to the next promotion or bonus. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] acchariya@lemmy.world 1 point 1 week ago Maybe your are right, software that checks all the boxes wins b2b deals even if it is a peice of shit permalink fedilink source parent
