A lot of DIY AI software is going to be the equivalent of home built workshop / shed furniture: it works fine, but it is janky and built from whatever they had at the hardware store. There will be a place for professional assemblers and designers and engineers at the furniture store / factories.
I've personally experienced week long incidents because someone didn't understand how a system worked and a couple of low impact shortcuts and convenient approaches and minor mistakes all came together to internally DDOS important systems. All reasonable individually, resulted in the majority of the ops team pulling a 70+ hour week and doing live prod cleanups in the middle of the night.... Agents do this faster. Also, they're labor competition, maybe.
Regulatory arbitrage is part of the value.
What are you smoking and can I have some?
I think it's also a fake lever to give to finops / it teams to try and keep costs down.
