even in the era of AI software, people still think software is a thing that you build once then use forever, rather than the maintaining cost being much greater than the initial working version.

I build some great agent scaffolds 6 months ago. it would "just" take me 2-3 hours a month to upkeep it. I don't have time!!!!

Tweet from @shakoistsLog making the point that even in the AI era, software maintenance cost outweighs initial build cost, citing agent scaffolds built 6 months earlier that would only need 2-3 hours/month upkeep but which the author has no time for.
