A bespoke software revolution? I don't buy it. It'll exist. It already exists. Small consultants and big consulting firms have made custom software for years. It almost always sucks. It’s bloated, confusing, and because the client pays, it’s built wrong in all the ways. Who’s excited about bespoke software? Software makers! Of course they're excited about building bespoke software — that's what they do. X is full of them. Your feed is full of people who love making software talking about making software. Of course they’re excited about the revolution. Echo, echo, echo... Most people don’t like computers. Nobody in tech wants to say that out loud. People tolerate computers. They use them because they have to. Given the choice, most would rather not think about them at all. So when someone suggests that AI means everyone will build their own custom tools, ask who "everyone" is. The three-person accounting firm drowning in client paperwork? They want the paperwork gone, not a new system to maintain. The regional logistics company with 40 trucks? They want the routes optimized, not Joe spouting off about this new system he’s been messing around with. The law firm billing 70-hour weeks? They want leverage on their time, not a software project to design. They don’t hate technology. But building and maintaining their own critical systems isn’t their wheelhouse, regardless of how much faster and easier it’s become. It's another job on top of the job. Will these people use AI? Absolutely, for all sorts of things. Will some outliers go deep and build real custom systems? Sure, but they're almost always people who already had some pull toward software. The curiosity was already there. They were dabblers before. Giving everyone access to software building tools doesn't mean everyone becomes a builder. A powerful excavator doesn't turn a homeowner into a contractor. Most people just want the hole dug by someone else. They don’t want the responsibility either.

Nunca ha habido tanta música. Nunca ha habido tanto software. Una audiencia propia es uno de los activos más valiosos que puede tener un profesional. El problema siempre fue la barrera de entrada. Hoy video grabado desde el salón puede llegar a más gente que una publicidad en televisión que costó mil veces más. Lo que Wes describe con la música ya pasó con las newsletters, los blogs, los podcasts, con los creadores.... El software está llegando ahora.

I see people worried about education and IA and I only see opportunities. - You can ask questions without any shame - Ask for examples - Ask yo explain the topic in a different way - Zoom in/out - Validate hypothesis super fast - Find similar topics - Know where all the information is coming from - Help you to progressively understand topics You can go as deep as you want. I’m pushing my daughter as much as I can to use IA, we ask ChatGPT all the time, sometimes she goes off track and start asking questions about zoombies on the moon but I think even that is positive. Lazy people have always been lazy, with or without IA.
