If you tell a friend they can now instantly create any app, they’ll probably say “Cool! Now I need to think of an idea.” Then they will forget about it, and never build a thing.

Programmers are trained to see everything as a software-shaped problem: if you do a task three times, you should probably automate it with a script.

We are blind to the solutions we were never taught to see, asking for faster horses and never dreaming of cars.
