Previously there were two problems with NIH solutions:
- they have implementation cost.
- they are usually born from arrogance mixed with lack of understanding of existing solutions and their tradeoffs, and typically end up being a net negative.
Before LLMs, the cost is what primarily used to stop us from building them, it used to be a natural filter for bad ideas. Now that the cost is gone, it's nearly impossible for most teams to stay disciplined and not be building those.
Why wouldn't you build a software factory? If you succeed, the ROI is infinite. Who cares about immediate customer needs, we're building a utopia here. Once it's done, all customer needs will be solved. Just one more month, I promise.
