I’ve been pointing at a distinction between ‘enterprise’ software and ‘single-use’ software (usually from scratch, maybe single-user script, certainly single-‘author’ concept, …). It’s not entirely crisp and there’s clearly something like a continuum. This post is clearly describing ‘enterprise’ contexts (long-running or many-running, many-author, different stakeholders, integrated with various business concerns, …).
Curious if others have good terms or characterisations of a distinction like this.
Clearly AI accelerates single-use substantially, which meaningfully moves the waterline on what people even bother to try. (By the way I think one of the main effects may be an IoT and smart-device rennaisance!)
Clearly ‘enterprise’ is a lot harder to invade—though one thing I think this post neglects is that it might reduce junior headcount (if it isn’t already), which has various effects. And it probably raises the waterline on passable and adaptable UX right away.
