The Old Model Is Broken
Software development has been stuck in the same economic model for decades. You need an application, you hire engineers (or an agency full of engineers), and you pay for their time. Timelines stretch. Budgets balloon. The only way to go faster is to throw more people at the problem - which usually makes it slower.
AI Changes Everything
AI breaks that model.
At idego, AI agents write the implementation code. AI agents write the tests. AI agents handle the boilerplate, the configuration, the migrations, the integrations. Human engineers - senior ones - architect the systems, make the product decisions, review the output, and ensure quality.
A Structural Shift
This isn't a productivity improvement. It's a structural change to how software gets built. A three-person team at idego ships what used to require fifteen engineers and three months of sprints.
The Future of Agencies
Y Combinator calls this the future of agencies: companies that look more like software companies, with software margins, scaling far bigger than any service business that exists today. We're building that future - specifically for application development.
