Do you have some magical insight into every codebase in existence? No? Ok then…
Also, why would I ever believe kangaroos exist if I haven't seen any evidence of them? this is a fallacy. You are portraying the healthy skepticism as stupid because you already know kangaroos exist.
> Two years in and we are waiting to see all you people (who are free of our tunnel vision) fly high with your velocity. I don't see anyone, am I doing something wrong?
Yes is the answer. I could probably put it in front of your face and you’d reject it. You do you. All the best.
Have we seen a noticeably increased amount of newly launched useful apps?
"and you realise the code just enables the business it all of a sudden becomes a velocity God send."
If a business is not useful, well, it will fail. So, so much autogenerated code for nothing.
Usefulness isn’t a good metric for this.
This is the same idea behind brands with random letters selling garbage physical products, only applied to software.
Perhaps we take the example of a blender. There's enough need to blend/puree/chop food-like-items, that a large group of people agree on the usefullness of a blender. A salad-shooter, while a novel idea, might not be seen as "useful".
Creating software that most folks wouldn't find useful still might be considered "neat" or "cool". But it may not be adding anything to the industry. The fact that someone shipped something quickly doesn't make it any better.
