AI makes building cheap, ownership is still expensive
Read OriginalThis article explores how AI coding agents shift the build vs. adopt decision in software development. While AI makes building custom components and API integrations faster and cheaper, the true cost lies in ownership: handling edge cases, maintaining compatibility, and building robust infrastructure. The author uses examples like Microsoft Graph API calls and UI components to illustrate that initial creation is only the first payment, and ongoing maintenance can rival or exceed the cost of adopting mature libraries or SDKs.
