I guess one thing the article doesn't bring up is the fact that AI might enable more people with less coding expertise to contribute to software development. That _might_ speed things up.
If that's true, you might be able to increase throughout by parallelising more of the work.
I am a Swedish citizen. Lived here for almost 40 years. It is a bit unclear to be what the "the Swedish e-government platform" is. Would have been great if they at least could have published which domain name the service has.
I find it somewhat interesting that a US 30 year fixed mortgage is 5,49%, while a 10 year fixed mortgage in Sweden currently is at 3,6%[1]. Big difference!
I struggle to find why it would be appealing to use an RPC framework which is only targetted to TypeScript (and I guess, JavaScript). The point, for me, of an RPC framework is that it should be platform agnostic to allow for reuse and modularity.
It's not just time. A lot of devs simply don't have the experience of dogging into third party sourcing code or understanding how one contributed to open source.
