Software engineering is expensive.
That’s why we have a SaaS economy.
Why companies pay for bloated enterprise software.
Why the default is outsourcing, not in-house development.
But what happens when coding changes?
Agentic coding—AI-assisted development—is shifting the equation.
The cost of engineering is dropping.
Small teams can do what once took an army.
My hope?
A new kind of software team.
Multidisciplinary. Lean. Directly connected to users.
Designers, analysts, architects—building hyper-niche applications.
Small, but powerful.
No bloated platforms. No unnecessary complexity.
Just software that delivers value. Directly.
