The point of TFA appears to be:
> Masad said something that is going to stick with me for a while: “Finding software problems in your life is also a skill, looking at a problem and saying, ‘a piece of software could solve that’ is a skill.”
> Since I can remember, that is a skill that only software developers could capitalize on. Now, pretty much anyone can.
It's true, and even as a software engineer there are things I've thought up in the past but haven't worked on because I'm not well versed with frontend tech. I had an idea the other day for a simple web app, and after some brainstorming and scaffolding with an LLM there is something halfway decent running locally for me.
Feeling "unblocked" and empowered to get something working rather than burdened by all of the minutiae that need to be figured out to ship and iterate on an idea is a great feeling. I wouldn't trust any of the current models to take something to production, but for "personal" software that I can control and manage and spruce up, it's been fun getting to hack on things I haven't felt equipped to tackle solo before.
