### AI overview

AI code generation makes it possible to turn ideas into software quickly, but it may also encourage projects that are abandoned soon after creation. The article argues that maintainers' track records should be considered when evaluating libraries and tools.

### Source excerpt

AI allows us to ship software instantly, but it's also fueling a surge of "disposable" projects. The team behind the code matters more than the code itself in the age of AI generation.

### AI overview

The article argues that AI coding agents will make software cheaper and more disposable, reducing the value of long-lived software craftsmanship. It predicts that large software companies may lose demand as organizations obtain customized systems and features more quickly and cheaply, while demand for programmers could increase.

### Source excerpt

AI coding agents will make software disposable, like fast fashion replaced tailored clothing, creating demand for more programmers, not fewer.
