In my experience, not everyone can really do this stuff by typing. I think you need to be creative, resourceful, inventive, open minded and have ideas how to approach the typing/prompting. I see many people struggle in using AI.

I think you need to be creative, resourceful, inventive, open minded and have ideas how to approach the typing/prompting. I see many people struggle in using AI. The problem, for the profession, is that the set of people who can really do this stuff by typing is close to "all of them". I'm not seeing anyone struggle with using AI. I see struggles from professional software developers because they are trying to get quality output, but if you don't have a bar for quality, just about everyone can create their own software. A poster a few months ago had a Show HN about his 7 year old kid, barely able to read, who was happily vibing up games.
- griffiths 1mo agoI can attest to the other side as well, that I have seen professional software developers outputting code of lower quality than AI. And I would say that during my career (18 or so years) I have met a small number of quality software developers or engineers. Although that might be because I was not in Silicon Valley where most of the smart/hotshot engineers converge.
