I think we are seeing the beginning of the end of for-sale software. If anyone can make an app from a spec, how can you profitably sell an app? A million people will make their own copy tomorrow. | ||||||||

> I think we are seeing the beginning of the end of for-sale software. We're seeing the end of "simple" for-sale software. Like OPs CRUD app, a UI front-end on-top of a database, of which there are a gazillion examples so some AI can easily synthesize some approximation of whatever requested variation. The selling of software was always in the "moat", not how fast you were able to churn out CRUD apps. We used offshore that to a more viable economy, but now we're offshoring that to an automated process. We're not seeing the end of for-sale software, we're seeing the beginning of the end-to-end solo founder. | ||||||||

Except this isn't 'an app from a spec', it's the potemkin village of an app whose goal is to get ad impressions and a credit card number. | ||||||||
