MegaMaker - Are we screwed?
|
Chris Sacca told Time Ferris that "we're super f*cked;" I'm not convinced. I'm curious to hear what you think! I just made a video about it: I don't think AI replaces what a skilled programmer can bring to a high-quality SaaS product. To me, this "AI will build your app for you" hype feels like previously failed predictions around No Code, open source apps, buy "once.com," etc... If you have time, I'd love for you to watch the video and tell me your thoughts. (Leave a comment on YouTube, on Bluesky, or reply to this email - thanks!) Cheers, PS: have you subscribed to The Panel podcast yet? Our last episode with Taylor Otwell (Laravel) and Caleb Porzio (Livewire) was 🔥. |
