> This is highly debatable.

Unfortunately the author never even tried to debate. He made a big mental leap from "you can build entire neighborhoods and immediately remodel them with a click" to "the houses are better", with no word on how and why they are they better.

When something feels increasingly like magic it means you understand less and less of it. So in fact you are less and less qualified to say anything about the result.

The author is wowed by the process and the glitz and sees this as an equivalent to "quality of results".

They're better because they get the business value faster and in a lot more flexible way, which in the end is what all businesses try to achieve.

Sure, quality and security suffer, but you're just to look at any airline's mobile app to see how little quality matters.

		> Sure, quality and security suffer, but Sure, it gave you a bad E. coli infection, but look how much of it you could eat. You use a very selective or narrow definition of "better". The "worse" gets swept under the rug without the step where you balance to see if you have a net win. But at least unlike the author of the tweet you made your definition clear, and I appreciate that.
