软件已死？还是不再主要为人类而建
Is software dead or just not (primarily) built for humans anymore?
Peter Yang 在最新文章中认为“软件已死”是夸张说法，但也不看好必须让人类一直点击界面的软件，最好的软件公司正在转向 agent-first。他举例：Claude 用 5 分钟复刻了他真正在用的那一个功能，让他替换掉每年 $200 的 YouTube 工具，无需重建整个 SaaS；同时智能体正取代人类成为软件主要用户，比如有人让 agent 在 Blender 里建 3D 模型而完全不懂其 UI。他还指出，构建应用容易，维护和客户支持仍需人力。

Is software dead or just not (primarily) built for humans anymore?
I make 4 arguments for each side in my latest essay. A few takeaways:
1. You don’t need to rebuild an entire SaaS to replace it. Many traditional SaaS apps have become incredibly bloated with features. You only have to copy the 20% that matters. I replaced a $200/year YouTube tool after Claude built the one feature that I actually used in 5 minutes.
2. Agents are replacing humans as software’s main users. For example, many people (including me) are getting their agents to create 3D models in Blender without knowing how to use Blender’s UI at all.
3. Building an app is easy, but maintaining it and supporting customers still takes work. Companies want someone to call when things break. I love building my own fitness app, but supporting thousands of other users would turn my hobby into a job.
TL;DR: I think “Software is dead” is BS hyperbole. But I wouldn’t want to bet on software that requires humans to click through screens forever.
The best software companies are thinking agent-first.
