AI is exciting to me not because of what it can do for software developers but because of what it can do for entrepreneurs who are not developers.
Many businesses can be created with minimal software and LLMs are a decent way to get to a minimal passable product that solves a very specific problem. It won’t build you a giant platform but it’s good enough to validate an idea and to test demand. Soon enough it could be good enough to build a business.
I see many developers arguing about the quality of code etc .. and they are right - it can and often sucks. But, people with problems don’t care about code quality - they just want their problems solved. “Yeah but it is production-quality code?!” Ok dude - no one cares. Yes, it matters if you want maintainable software that doesn’t crash and burn during the first bug encounter but if you can validate an idea and address a need, you can afford to invest money into that idea and create a quality product.
