via Maggie Appleton, on bridging the gap between the power that LLM tools bring to programming and the amatuer no-code programmers who stand to benefit.
At the moment, these are people like the teachers who make elaborate Notion spreadsheets for managing classes.
Or students who make over-the-top personal dashboards.
Or financial planning wonks producing extensive spreadsheets.
They are people who are technically savvy and interested in solving problems for themselves and people around them, but don’t want to become fully-fledged programmers.
If you can take people like that, and empower them with tools that allow them to actually build software, there are so many small applications they can build to serve their individual needs. And we’re right on the edge of it.
