AI commoditized code, not software. Developers keep confusing the two.

In Pieter Levels' recent tweet about ditching paid SaaS for AI-generated custom builds, there's a crucial distinction he makes between code and software. Levels' idea has sparked debate online, but the real takeaway is that while AI can generate code, it doesn't necessarily mean software is commoditized. Developers often mix up these terms, but understanding the difference is key for appreciating where AI truly impacts our work. This highlights a broader trend in tech where the capabilities of AI are reshaping our approach to software development, but the nuanced expertise of developers remains invaluable.
