I don’t think that’s the comparison.
The point is when you pay for human made software from a saas, those problems are not your problem!
You get the saas company to fix it, and it they won’t you go to one of their competitors. If you reroll in house you’re now responsible for every bug
When 100% does not exist. Most software out there has issues, bugs, compliance problems, security weaknesses, scaling, redundancy, availability issues...etc. A lot of this is not actually related to how good or bad software engineers are. It's about costs and time to ROI. Greed is an issue too.
So people seem to have this idea that software created by humans is perfect (its not). And that deterministic (human created software with if/then) is alway going to be better than probabilistic (LLMs). Which in a perfect world is the case, but we live in a capitalistic world where this is not the case.
