You and literally everyone else. If ideas are "a dime a dozen", and the hard part (aka building the implementation) is trivially solved by LLMs then it won't be you competing against a handful of similar businesses, it'll be you against TEN THOUSAND.

The ultimate end result of lowering the barrier to entry down to zero is that making money on bespoke software will be about as commercially viable as making money writing music.

Sounds like a win for humanity to me.

Writing software was always that, automating yours or (more likely) someone else's job away.

No, I love it. It has made programming fun again and lets me focus on the creative parts. Really satisfying.

This was my thought too. The idea of wrangling AIs to make something is only lame or tragic if you dont like the thing youre making. For people who have ideas that they actually care about and just want to see exist, wrangling ai's sounds great, as long as their output is good

This a million times over. Although demand for this layer of jobs will obviously be hugely squeezed in this future we are all discussing.

Me too!

I get it that coding is like playing boardgames and that might be fun.

But solving real problems (with the help of AI or whatever other tool is most appropriate, maybe and IDE or a degugger) is where I want to be!

Sitting around, watching claude-code 'think', hitting y, hitting enter, adding a little prompt context, giving it hints, etc, day after day, hour after hour. So exciting.
