illscience recounts a conversation with Bending Spoons founder Luca Ferrari on growth-vs-cash investor bias, invention vs optimization (Google is still 80% search 30 years later), debt discipline, and where durability lives post-SaaSpocalypse. Key data point: Bending Spoons went from 0% to 94% AI-written code in two years, with support managers working like PMs and data scientists building tooling instead of cleaning CSVs. Ferrari's first startup died over an undelivered Danish tax refund, catalyzing Bending Spoons.
