The End of the Era Where Software Has Value

Are you starting to notice?

The era where software — forged through blood, sweat, and tears — loses its value is upon us.

Simply put.

What is value?

Something rare, and something everyone wants.

Put it in an equation:

Value = Scarcity × Demand

AI has made building software no longer "scarce."

For example, gr-sw-maker is achieving nearly full automation of the entire process — specs, design, implementation, testing, delivery, and operations — just from a concept description.

What loses its scarcity loses its value. The same goes for hardware designed by software.
The value of software and hardware is quietly, but surely, fading away.

So what holds value next?

Let's return to the definition.
