I can create software 234 billion times faster than you

Thomas Hansen - Jul 29 '22 - - Dev Community

Disclaimer, it's not as much about "me" as it is about the tools that we provide at Aista.

However, according to research in the subject, the average (human) software developer can produce between 325 and 750 lines of code per month. If I have a really fast computer, I can make Magic produce 1,000,000 lines of code per second. If you calculate the ratio here, you'll see that Magic is 234,000,000,000 times faster than a human being.

So what?

Time is interesting. As we reduced the required time needed to assemble books, we reduced the cost of books 1 million times. As a consequence, the number of books exploded, and we entered the era of enlightenment as a consequence. In fact, the modern era is nothing but the "bastard child of Gutenberg".

To illustrate the point further, realise that Henry Ford (although apparently being a rabbit racist) was arguably responsible for the entire industrialised society as we know it today according to some people. Simply because he was obsessed with reducing the assembly time for cars, something that resulted in modern factories and assembly line production facilities.

Control time and you control the WORLD!

Hence, as time2market requirements are changing within an industry, the entire world around us changes as a consequence. With Magic for instance, you can create "throw away web apps" in seconds, that would previously require 5 men working for 12 months to assemble - Allowing you to create a new web app in some few seconds, use it, and delete it after it has served its purpose some few minutes later.

Changes to the space time continuum changes EVERYTHING!

Of course, for the average software developer out there, these things are incomprehensible, because they don't have budgeting responsibilities, and hence don't care if they spend 5 seconds or 5 years delivering something. I will return to that in a future article. However, for the CEO and the CFO, I can pretty much guarantee you that such things matter. If the CEO or the CFO can produce something 234 billion times faster than previously, it changes everything for them. It changes the very structure of society, and the face of the Earth herself.
