Noticing an interesting pattern with cost of new code nearing zero.
In the past building something was hard and expensive, so teams collaborated and coordinated to reuse shareable pieces.
Now a single engineer can copy a really complex system in days, and there's no incentive to collaborate.
On one hand it's a good thing, coordination is really expensive: alignment, planning, interruptions, requirements reconciliation. But on the other hand we end up building fifteen copies of the same thing, and bringing them to play nicely together is even more expensive than before.
