> Why is useful a metric?
"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.
I see, I guess every business I haven’t used personally, because it wasn’t useful to me, has failed…
Usefulness isn’t a good metric for this.
It's not for nothing. When a profitable product can be created in a fraction of the time and effort previously required, the tool to create it will attract scammers and grifters like bees to honey. It doesn't matter if the "business" around it fails, if a new one can be created quickly and cheaply.
This is the same idea behind brands with random letters selling garbage physical products, only applied to software.
