I used to care if people used software I created. That is gone. The effort to get the software I want is so low and the features so constrained to my requirements, whats the point?
Watching my friend adopt grok bot and use for small biz has been amazing. Burning tokens and loving it.
For basic tools it is faster to just ask the agent to build exactly what you want and to work the way you want than to search for an existing solution and try to figure out how to use it.
I love my little ip kvms. This atx control board makes me love them even more. gl-inet.com/en-us/products/a…
How do we quantify increased productivity when the productive work that is being done is work that we wouldn't have done in the past and don't sell or share?
Deomp/recomp is fun to watch but i think bespoke software people create for themselves will be the bigger impact. These wont be software products. Just software that solves problems or makes life better.
It wont be amazing software but it will work for the person so summoned it. It will have bugs but it will be their bugs. It wont have to be shared or monetized because making products people want even if they are free will still be hard.
My dad got the programing bug when he bought a C64. He would stay up at night coding programs that automated formulas he used everyday as a sheet metal worker. He never shared it. Just used it to make his life a bit easier. I don’t see why more people won’t do this the agents solve all the complex things we added to programing and computing for us now.
