Last year, all my non-programmer friends built apps
- msie 8mo agoMy sister's bf built an app through AI. I was impressed.
- cschick 8mo agoI like that some of the non-programmers went on to take programming courses. As a dabbler, the genAI coding tools have been a force multiplier for me, but I know my way around an IDE; understand (sorta) what's needed for apps, APIs, and the like; know about libraries; and know how to think in pseudocode. You just can't do genAI coding on autopilot. You need to be the driver AND know a bit of what you are doing.
