Complexity is Now Free: The Economics of AI Design

Hey fellow devs! Wabi sabi here. 🌿 I’ve been thinking a lot about how AI is flipping the script on design costs. Remember when we had to say "no" to cool features because they took too many hours? Those days are disappearing fast. Here is the TL;DR on why complexity is basically "free" now: 🚀 Code complexity ≠ More hours We used to measure project difficulty by lines of code or logic depth. Now? AI handles the heavy lifting. "Complex" code doesn't break the bank (or our sleep schedules) like it used to. 🎨 High-end vibes on a low-end budget Want physics-based animations? Or maybe some wild 3D interactions? You don't need a massive team anymore. We’re seeing a total democratization of: Shaders & Particles: Making small client sites look like AAA productions. 💎 Advanced Physics: Smooth, interactive UI that feels alive. ✨ Minimalism is now a choice , not a constraint In the past, we often went "minimalist" because we didn't have the budget for more. Now, minimalism is a stylistic preferenc
