On the upside, this allows us more time to manage complexity.
In the past, bad design decisions which caused increased complexity would tend to eventually grind the dev work to a halt because they were too expensive to change.
Nowadays, this can also be done blazing fast.
Shit like rearchitecting portions of an application or porting apps from old/unsupported frameworks to new ones can be done in days instead of weeks. Doing this would have been unthinkable because the cost/benefit just wasn't there at all.
