Software Development is Getting Easier...So What Should I do?
Software development costs are dropping rapidly, thanks to a powerful combination of technologies that are stacking on each other. AI-assisted development (like GitHub Copilot), reusable open-source libraries, cloud-native development, and low-code/no-code platforms are accelerating this trend in unprecedented ways.
1. Lower the Cost of Change Management and Requirement Gathering Requirement gathering, idea exploration, and change management are often some of the priciest phases of development, and they can be major blockers for impactful projects. Many applications and features never make it past this stage, ending up in what I call the "feature graveyard"—a space filled with great ideas that were requested but went unused.
2. Focus on Data Consistency and Integration As software development costs decrease, organizations are deploying more applications than ever. Back in my consulting days, we used to count the number of applications as a measure of efficiency; today, however, the conversation has shifted. The issue is less about how many applications there are and more about the data each one produces.
3. Develop Reusable Applications for Common Processes Many applications across an organization share similar functionalities. Approval workflows, for instance, are necessary but often replicated in multiple applications. Instead of continually building approval functions from scratch, why not develop a reusable approval application that can be integrated wherever it’s needed?
