UnverifiedIn complex projects, the cost of generating code for the first time is manageable; the real hidden cost lies in the cycle of repeated revisions.73% similarUnverifiedThe asymmetry where code generation costs approach zero while code review costs remain high is referred to in economics as an "externality."71% similarUnverifiedThe costs of the compiled approach include loss of flexibility, the need to recompile and re-validate every time rules change, and ambiguity resolution during the compilation step being the most difficult engineering bottleneck.70% similarUnverifiedWhen compute is abundant, the time cost of writing code is greatly compressed, and the bottleneck shifts from "can it be built" to "what is worth building."68% similarUnverifiedOverly complex code not only increases maintenance costs but also easily introduces hidden bugs.68% similar
