Do you have some magical insight into every codebase in existence? No? Ok then…

No i don't but by your post it seems like you do. Show us, that is all i request.

  • I have insight into enough code bases to know its a non zero number. Your logic is bizarre, if you’ve never seen a kangaroo would you just believe they don’t exist?

    • Show us the numbers, stop wasting our time. NUMBERS.

      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.

That’s hardly necessary.

Have we seen a noticeably increased amount of newly launched useful apps?

  • Why is useful a metric? This is about software delivery, what one person deems useful is subjective

    • Perhaps I'm misreading the person to whom you're replying, but usefullness, while subjective, isn't typically based on one person's opinion. If enough people agree on the usefullness of something, we as a collective call it "useful".

      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.

      "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.
