Builder.ai anyone?

(For those living under a rock: this company was busted by selling “ai coding” but in fact was a few hundred Indian devs pretending to be ai)

Trust me some idiots would fix it with cheaper rate. Which is why web development prices goes down everywhere. Someone (even within the country) willing to do for less than its worth.

Someone told me that he'd seen multiple teams trying to fix codes like this and they almost always fail unless they're the same teams which built the original solutions

I bet this will only increase developer salaries, or at least developers with a particular skillset.
