1) The economy is broken
What cost $100,000 in dev time now costs $25 monthly.
AI agents handle everything. Coding. Deployment. Maintenance.

5) One-person billion-dollar companies are coming
When software creation becomes free, team size becomes irrelevant, and you can compete with 100-person startups using AI.
