> Rework is almost free
Is it? All the electricity and capital investment in computing hardware costs real money. Is this properly reflected in the fees that AI companies charge or is venture capital propping each one up in the hope that they will kill off the competition before they run out of (usually other people's) money?
Even ignoring the AI costs, 'rework' is going to be more expensive as soon as you have customers. For example any sort of data migration. Or UX expectations. Or public API interface. None of these can change without some thought, so one would be leaning on these specs quite a lot.
Yeah, a lot of Claude Code users(me included) found in March if rework is free or not.
