This is wrong on so many levels. Most companies (including our agency) bet on self hosted "free" LLMs to solve every day problems. The only costs we have is hardware and electricity. And that won't increase on a high scale. Furthermore, AI is already driving productivity measureable in our company. What will probably happen is that software prices will drop big times but this is fine and predictable. Still engineers are needed to solve business processes, discuss with customers and find solutions for their problems.

I started with Nativescript and ended up in building a WebView which I then simply included.

I haven't tested Vue Native yet but wanted to know why Cordova seems to be on the decrease :( I feel like I have to develop in Vue Native or Nativescript soon to not lose track. However, I always liked the Cordova/Vue combination and I could realise fantastic apps with it.

This is something we need to consider in the calculation.

And lets say all data centers would work completely "green" - wouldn't this discussion be obsolete?

But I agree with a lot of these points after working 5 years in a startup. The biggest problem is that you try to increase your runway even though the business model does not seem to work. Instead of making it profitable as soon as possible, you try to grow and grow and hire people you don't even need. This was the worst experience. And then letting those people go again is even worse.

I hope that we get back to the ground and try to build solid and profitable business in the future instead of blown up air castles with no value at all.
