TripleOne. Brutally simple. And probably too good to be true.
Look, enterprise IT’s been a clown show forever. Vendors peddle six-figure trash. No-code tools promise the moon, deliver mud. Part 1 nailed the rot; this proposes a scalpel. But here’s my twist: it’s less revolution, more reminder of how we forgot to code like startups back when three hackers in a garage built Salesforce.
The pitch? One Business Analyst. One Developer. One AI Agent. That’s your squad. Budget-friendly. High-output. No more begging consultants for CRUD apps.
Every problem in Part 1 traces back to the same root cause: people making decisions couldn’t evaluate what was being built.
Spot on. Decision-makers blind. Vendors feast. TripleOne flips the script.
Why TripleOne Actually Works (Sometimes)
BA first. Not some meetings monkey. This one’s the shield—translates user babble into specs sharper than a katana. No scope creep. No “just one more feature.” Developers love ‘em. Or should.
Then the AI Agent. Writes the grunt code. Boilerplate? Gone. Prototypes? Instant. It’s 2024—best devs already lean on this. Cursor, Claude, whatever. One human + AI = old-school five-man team. Math checks out.
Developer’s the brain. Oversees. Architects. Calls BS on AI hallucinations. Spots vendor quotes that scream ripoff—like $100k for an S3 form. This role? The missing link in Part 1’s horror stories.
Together? Information asymmetry dies. In-house builds kill vendor chains. Real code vaults past no-code limits. Elegant, right?
But wait. Here’s the dry humor part: enterprises won’t touch this. Why? Culture. Trust. Finding that unicorn dev who wrangles AI like a pro.
Is TripleOne Realistic—or Just Dev Fantasy?
Short answer: for scrappy orgs, yes. Bloated corps? Dream on.
Picture it. You need a dashboard. Old way: RFP to vendor. Six months, $200k, buggy mess. TripleOne: BA specs it Tuesday. AI drafts code Wednesday. Dev polishes Thursday. Deploy Friday. Cost? Dev salary slice + pennies.
The “one app” core—genius if executed. Start with auth module. NextJS frontend on S3. Serverless backend. One DB. Modular growth. Add features? Plug in. No sprawl. No silos.
Compounds beautifully. First module slow. Tenth? Blink fast. One dev keeps it sane.
My unique jab: this echoes the lean manufacturing wave of the ’80s. Toyota slashed waste with tiny cells. Enterprises ignored it then—built silos instead. Same mistake now. TripleOne’s your kanban for code. Predict this: AI maturity hits, and consultancies panic by 2026.
Caveats? Piled high. Wrong dev? Disaster. No trust from suits? Dead on arrival. And it cuts off mid-sentence in the original—oversight problem lingers? Fair.
Still, better than Power Automate roulette.
Why Ditch Vendors for This Platform Play?
Vendors hate platforms. One monolith means no new contracts. Auth everywhere? Kiss per-tool logins goodbye. JAMstack frontend—cheap, fast. Serverless APIs scale free at low volume. Files in S3. SQL for relations. Clean layers. No vendor lock.
User wants “app X?” Response: module it. Same pipeline. Same auth. Coherent forever.
Hype alert. Original calls it proposal, not prescription. Smart. But enterprises spin anything lean as “disruptive.” (Eye roll.) It’s not. It’s basics + AI boost. We’ve had small teams forever; AI just turbocharges.
Critique the spin: no battle-tested claim? Red flag. Yet patterns from Part 1 scream for this. Vendors exploit blindness; TripleOne restores sight.
Historical parallel—agile manifesto 2001. Three devs, manifesto. World changed. TripleOne? Same vibe. Tiny team, big impact. If corps listen.
The Hard Truths TripleOne Ignores
Right dev scarce. AI whisperers? Gold dust. Org trust? Rarer.
Cultural shift massive. IT managers wedded to vendors—kickbacks? Who knows. (Wink.) BA must be steel; weak ones invite chaos.
Scalability? Fine for medium loads. Petabyte hell? Call AWS.
Prediction: consultancies rebrand as “AI integrators” to survive. Funny, that.
Worth trying? In greenfield depts, hell yes. Legacy monoliths? Start small.
