Development speed is not a bottleneck

lol.... development speed and quality are both the bottleneck my dude. But if you have enough speed, you can fix quality issues as you are able to test and fix things faster.

You have even CEO of car companies that get fired because they mess this up. Or even the Sonos company lost a lot of value, and got their CEO fired because they messed up and can't fix it in time.

Speed is not everything. Developing the right features (what users want) and Quality are the most important things, but development speed allows you to test features and fix things fast and course correct.

Car companies cannot figure what to develop and how to develop it. They could develop 1000% faster and would still get it wrong. Mostly because they see software as a cheap alternative to metal and rubber and developers as degenerate primadonnas - i.e. not true engineers.

Sonos decided they wanted to centralize their architecture so they could tap into it to make extra surveillance money. They trashed things that worked perfectly and replaced them with a cloudshit architecture that nobody asked for and that _cannot_ deliver the same low-latency, quality experience as before. They could have developed things 1000% faster, they would have just drove a cliff sooner.

Even if people could write apps instantly, nothing would prevent them for being stupid and greedy.
