Interesting perspective on Ai generated software from Quentin Stafford-Fraser:
As we enter an era where software development is much cheaper and easier, the number of people able to create their own bespoke apps will increase rapidly. Either you’ll do it, or you’ll pay your neighbour’s son a modest amount to do it for you. Good and/or important software, to be used by large numbers of people, will still require experienced developers, though they may spend more time guiding the AI than actually typing the code. But software that is good enough for you to use yourself? That’s becoming a different story.
If I could get my head around how it is done, I could spend the rest of my days perfecting a native Mac app that combined my favourite features from Netnewswire, Marsedit, DEVONthink, Ulysses etc etc.
