This is the future of software with AI: everyone can have hyper-personalized software to solve very personally-specific problems.

The truth is, not everyone is just going to suddenly start building things, especially software, just because its easy.

The AI companies are trying to convince dentists offices they need Claude. The truth is regular people don't care. There's always only going to be a subset of the population that wants to build things.

it's just gym access to get through a turnstile. we've solved barcode scanners and DB lookups. or RSA dongles and yubikeys.

why do I need to burn tokens to do this?
