Charity Majors on stage at DevOps Days NYC: "The cost of code isn't the writing, it's the maintaining. And ChatGPT will prove that right."

For sure on this. We can churn out lots of code with tooling, but "will it work?" and "will it be maintainable?" are *very* different things.

A pro soccer team spends way more time in practice than in competition.

Software teams spend more time keeping systems up to date, refactoring, reading code, talking about the systems, looking into problems
than adding capabilities.

This isn't weird. It's the real work.

I don’t think this genie is going back in the bottle.

Wow.

I promise you this was meant to be a softball question.

There’s only so much context you can put in a TikTok clip, but I really encourage you to listen to the entire 60-minute conversation with Substack CEO Chris Best that includes this exchange— we went pretty deep on Substack’s business, Twitter vs Substack, and, of course, what kind of moderation expectations people should have for Substack Notes, which looks a lot like a social network.
