I had a thought the other day regarding engineering teams weighing the decision to “build vs buy”:
With the rise of genAI code generation tools, there will be a tendancy to choose to build in-house, rather than buy without considering that getting to v1.0 is “easy”, but maintaining and evolving the codebase is always the hard part. Teams may find themselves having to become experts in fields they have no business being in, just to maintain their codebase.
