Build vs. Buy in the Age of AI (svpg.com)

we lost something important with AI code gen... those technical barriers that used to filter for actual engineering competence. Now everyone and their mother is launching SaaS products.

I've been thinking about how AI code gen affects different teams. I think it makes good teams better and bad teams worse.

Got me thinking about how it applies to the build/buy formula. Curious what others think about this:

- Good teams with resources will be super picky about vendors and just build if they don't trust you - Good teams without resources will lean toward building - Bad teams will build everything initially, accumulate insane tech debt and then heavily favor buying
