AI has meant that so many apps have never been launched in such a short time. The problem is that almost no one is using them.

A new research from MIT monitored the activity of thousands of developers before and after adopting the use of AI agents such as Claude Code or Codex. In their conclusions they have detected a singular “funnel effect”: many begin to use AI to “tinker” with the codebut few projects end in final software releases. Not only that: many more apps arrive in the application stores, but the interest they generate is practically zero. Hotfix blocks everything. When you start programming with Claude Codeeven without knowing how to do it, usually experience that feeling of “being able to do anything”, but although there are projects that manage to evolve and reach a successful conclusion, many remain in an attempt: the manual processes of quality control, code review or deployment They become bottlenecks for these projects, often carried out by people without a technical profile and without knowledge of software engineering. Producing more is not selling more. The MIT study, led by one of its economics professors, Mert Demirer, reveals another striking conclusion: producing more does not mean selling more. Although the volume of mobile applications that comes to the App Store or Google Play Store has grown spectacularly due to the ease of programming with AI, real consumption has not moved. There are many more apps, but the same consumers (and buyers), who are not downloading, trying or certainly buying more than they did. App failure. The vast majority of these new software products created with these tools fail spectacularly when it comes to capturing a minimum audience. The efficiency when creating them is not directly linked to the real usefulness of these tools or with the value that the market demands of them. The code surpasses us. Linus Torvalds already said it when speaking of how he saw the world of AI: “AI will be a tool, and it will make people more productive. I think vibe coding is great for getting people to start programming. I think (the code it generates) is going to be horrible to maintain… so I don’t think programmers will go away. You’ll still want to have people who know how to maintain the output.” His comment was a good prediction of what we are seeing now: too much code being distributed everywhere makes a review of that code necessary to validate it, but doing something like that at the rate that AI is adding code to these projects is unaffordable for human programmers, who are being overwhelmed. And costs are skyrocketing. The new AI agents that program consume a large number of tokens, which has made set off the alarms in companies like Uber or Microsoft. To mitigate the problem, a hybrid usage model is now being imposed: AI agents in the cloud, such as Claude Opus 4.8, are used to plan development, but then the code is written by cheaper cloud models, which are remarkably compliant, or even local models if the user/company has sufficient local computing capacity. Remembering the industrial revolution. Demirer remembers that something similar happened during the industrial revolution. The first factories that replaced steam engines with giant electric motors did not lead to a large increase in productivity. The real boost to efficiency came decades later, when engineers redesigned those factories from scratch by installing individual motors at each workstation. In Xataka | We believed that the AI ​​talent war is about engineers and developers. Actually, it’s about plumbers and electricians.

For this company it has meant charging 15,000 euros of a debt

If you are one of those people who see Unreported Post Office In your entrance tray without immutation, perhaps you should take into account that this habit can reach cost you a disgust economic depending on your professional responsibilities. The Provincial Court of Valencia has sentenced a bankruptcy administrator to pay compensation of 15,000 euros for not responding to emails that for a year sent him a creditive company. A notified debt. As you can read in the sentence Dictated by the Provincial Court of Valencia, a construction company entered into a process of suspension of payments in 2020, so a process of creditors protected by a bankruptcy administrator who is in charge of quantify debts of said company and establish the payment of debts in a timely manner. One of the creditor companies notified the Existence of a debt pending sending two bills due to 2019 and 2020 to the bankruptcy administrator for an amount of 14,202.88 euros. However, and after several emails asking for information about the state of the collection, the bankruptcy administrator gave no response. Demand to the administrator. After several unsuccessful attempts to communicate with the administrator, sending invoices with the sufficient legal deadline. The administrator finally closed the bankruptcy process leaving the crediting company out of the credit plan. Before which, he filed a lawsuit against the administrator. In his allegations, the bankruptcy administrator declared that he had not submitted it on time and that he should have claimed it with more insistence when he saw that his debt did not appear in the reports of payments to creditors. Justice makes it clear: look at your email tray. The magistrates of the Provincial Court of Valencia leave no doubt, and consider that the company notified the debt both by mail and formally. The sentence ensures that it was the responsibility of the bankruptcy administrator to respond to the demands that reach them through a valid communication channel How is email. Therefore, it forces the bankruptcy administrator to pay the debt, although the process has already been closed. José Martínez Carrera, General Director of the Managing Office, who had represented the credit company, declared declared to Digital economy“Finally, this judgment includes the day -to -day problems of creditors, where bankruptcy administrators do not respond to any consultation for the payment of credits against the mass.” The lawyer regrets that it is common for administrators to “give the quiet response”, forgetting that in this process they are legal representatives of the company they manage. From the pandemia nobody takes the phone. The case of neglect in the communications of this bankruptcy administrator is nothing more than one Of the many examples of the drift of some public bodies and private companies that have eliminated or limited significantly the communication options (by telephone or by email), as He denounced Antena 3 news. They maintain the service, but are limited to not attending the calls. “Nothing, they hang up. They don’t put music you, or anything. They don’t take it directly,” a user lamented. Public services such as SEPE or information for immigration or social security care They stopped attending the phone after the pandemic in the absence of dedicated personnel. Now, that neglect of communications also seems to be extended to email. Valencia’s justice is not willing to allow “ghosting” to also extend to email.
