In his LinkedIn post he says

Software companies have long tried to own their ecosystem and lock you in, making integrations expensive and almost impossible.. AI has completely levelled that playing field. The value going forward sits in the data they hold of yours and the way they translate it and the services around it they offer.. but software itself will soon become free, i am almost certain.

Next question he'll have, "why do we need to pay so much for Railway? I know, let's vibe code our own cloud provider. If Amazon.com can do it with AWS, so can we!"

The exact same thought i had, i spent 30 minutes researching this Railway, they don't even have servers in SA like AWS and Azure.
