Because convincing the owners of the house they have a shaky foundation and you have a cheap fix matters more than the actual integrity and the fix.

There's no question that the predictions around LLMs are shaking up the industry - see mass layoffs and offers for 8 figures to individual contributors. The question is will it materially change things for the better? no idea.

Do you have any more info on the 8 figures? I hadn't come across that, but that's quite interesting to hear.

For the mass layoffs, I was under the belief that those were largely driven by the tax code alterations in the US.
