Before copilot, we were far from it.

But now, given how magical this thing is, it opens many doors to what's possible with no code.

I never really believe in anything no code before apart from Excel and RAD.

But basic tasks are going to get accessible to a lot of people sooner than I expected




I'm almost certain a trained professional is still going to do a far better job than an amateur.

That part is unlikely to change much, if it all.

Trained professionals will always outperform the latest fellow dragged off the street.


That doesn't matter much.

You free part of the industry from needing professionals for some simple tasks, which is enough to empower users with a lot of possibilities, and focus pros on where they are really needed.

"Hey phone, next time mum send me a text about voting, you can send back a 'ok boomer'?" or "hey phone, can you setup a webpage that list my tiktok videos up to last year?"

Most people are not going to hire a pro for that, but we could end up with a AI general enough to be able to do that for users. It's ok if the result is not extensible, maintainable or modular.
