>If you have strong discipline and quality control processes

you're placing a lot of faith on this if-statement. in an article pretty much say that we in fact lack strong discipline and quality control.

I meant it more as an observation than an optimistic prediction, really :-)

The article is sound, but it's focus on large public failures disregards the vast, vast, vast majority of the universe of software projects that nobody really thinks about, because they mostly just work -- websites and mobile apps and games and internal LoB CRUD apps and cloud services and the huge ecosystem of open source projects and enterprise and hobby software.

Without some consideration of that, we cannot really generalize this article to reflect the "success rate" of our industry.

That said, I think the acceleration introduced by AI is overall a "Good Thing (tm)" simply because, all else being equal, it's generally better to fail faster rather than later.

"If you do everything right that you weren't doing before, but with 80% fewer people and the Lie Generator that doesn't work, then you will be successful."
