vibe coders should understand something: i love how easy AI is making it for people to build their own apps, push them into production, and start businesses but let's be clear: the future is not in humans building consumer-facing apps the future is everything becomes an API which your personal AI agent can interact with in ways which suit your specific needs and lifestyle (down to the very specific needs of you as an individual) the fact that you can use the machines to build your apps is just an intermediate step to the machines creating the apps for you, LIVE, as you need them so the value of you learning how to build apps now really lies in you learning how to create a business model behind that app- not in creating the piece of software that is the app itself sure, there will be templates for how you can interact with those apps/APIs, but your personal AI will pick one and tailor it even further for you. and a lot of the time, you won't even need to interact with a UI beyond speaking with your AI assistant let me give you an example: would you rather use an app like Uber or Uber Eats, or would you rather just ask your AI assistant to get you a ride somewhere or to show you menus for the type of food you might be interested in and you pick one? the value in apps like that is not in the app installed on your phone. it's in the backend business model which connects the customer with providers. and personal AI assistants actually open the door to you being able to seamlessly use multiple business APIs without worrying in the slightest about which app or intermediate provider they come from there is a decent chance apps as you know them will be mostly dead in ~5-10 years and yes, there are some apps which will still require deep optimization and that is where the hardcore coders may still be needed. but machines will get better at that, and if you take one look at the AAA gaming landscape, you should understand that hyper-optimized code isn't as valuable as it used to be but what will be valuable is owning the APIs with the most use and liquidity. and yes, a lot of those will use public blockchains things are going to accelerate and get very weird very quickly from here
