I think we are witnessing the biggest explosion in software creation in history. New website creation is up 40% year on year. New iOS apps are up nearly 50%. GitHub code pushes in the US jumped 35% and in the UK around 30%. All of these metrics were flat for years before late 2024. The entire graph looks like a hockey stick. You no longer need a six month runway and a dev team to ship something real. We see this in our metrics as well! People who never wrote a line of code are building and launching apps. The barrier to building software just disappeared. What matters now is knowing what to build and the taste to build it right.
