The software industry is having an identity crisis.
For 30 years, the question was:
"Can we build it?"
Now the question is:
"Should we build it?"
That's a completely different problem.
Code is cheaper.
AI is faster.
Development tools are smarter.
Building software is no longer the bottleneck.
Thinking is.
Every day, companies spend thousands of dollars building features nobody asked for.
Teams ship products nobody needs.
Developers solve problems that shouldn't exist.
Meanwhile, the companies winning aren't necessarily building more.
They're building less.
But with more precision.
The future of software won't belong to the teams that write the most code.
It will belong to the teams that make the best decisions.
Because the most expensive line of code...
is still the one nobody needed.
