Claims
- Coding agents are dramatically lowering the cost and barrier-to-entry for writing software.
- The number of deployed software artifacts—apps, databases, background jobs—will continue to rise as a result.
- CPU-side infrastructure demand will grow in proportion to the explosion of deployed software.
- A new bottleneck is forming in compute infrastructure, though the tweet is cut off before specifying it.
Key quotes
With coding agents drastically lowering the costs and barriers-to-entry associated with writing code, the number of deployed software artifacts will continue to rise. More apps, more databases, more background jobs, more CPU-side infrastructure demand.
