I think this is fairly accurate even though people on Lemmy often hate seeing any positives with Ai. But if you are objective, you can see how this part of Ai is actually true.

People can now create their own software pretty quick, with features they want and need and nothing else.

it has always been practical. even before i started working as a software developer 25 years ago, i had made numerous games, programs and scripts for myself, family or friends. from simple backup scripts to reminder apps and interesting graphic hacks. it's not that hard. most languages are very similar, so the most important bit is to choose the best language for the task, like i would choose Java for automatic layout management in the GUI, for example.

Yeah but Ai automates it so you dont have to write any code. I agree its not hard though, I was doing the same, always have been. :)

that only works to a certain degree tho. and modifying a growing codebase with AI usually breaks it. it works best when statring a completely new project
