The Rise of Industrial Software: Key Insights
Chris Loy’s recent article dives into the evolving impact of agentic coding on software production, revealing significant implications for multiple markets.
- Jevons Paradox: Loy connects the debate around industrial software to this economic principle, highlighting its effects on production quality and quantity.
- Market Dynamics: Software isn’t a monolith; it consists of distinct markets with varying constraints and demand factors.
- Internal Tools: The rise of agentic coding can make previously overlooked internal tools feasible, creating a vast backlog of projects ready for innovation.
- Democratization of Software Creation: Non-programmers can now build tools for themselves, revolutionizing accessibility.
Key Challenges:
- Quality Variability: While industrial software can increase production speed, the quality may be uneven across markets.
- Regulatory Constraints: Areas like medical devices and government software may lag due to stringent regulations.
