I think we're heading for a real crisis here. We've got an imperfect system of constraints and bottlenecks, and we've just eliminated one of the main bottlenecks - the speed at which we can add new code. This just puts so much more strain on the rest of the system, I think the industry is going to have a quick lesson on the non-linear costs of software complexity.

I'm glad to see that the author of the article is putting an emphasis on simplicity here, especially given the nature of their business. Those that fully embrace the "code doesn't matter" approach are in for a world of hurt.

Long-term, I expect there will be more tooling and model advancements to help us in this regard - and there will certainly be a big economic incentive for that soon. But in the meantime it feels like a dam has been breached and we're just waiting for the real effects to become manifest.
