I reread that part of the post and this makes me disagree even more (not with you):

> The more that build software, the more who will appreciate using great software. Cooking at home makes you appreciate going out to eat.

Like.. no, I don't appreciate great cooking in restaurants.

I'm eating out because I hate cooking and I don't know how to cook certain things and with my tools I am not able to cook certain things. (e.g. good pizza). But the stuff I like cooking (and can do) is not worse than the same dish in a restaurant, sometimes I even prefer it. Same for software.

But I guess that's the thing. If I'm a professional software developer it would be kinda weird if I hated using my own home-made software? So maybe this is actually more true for people who just need a thing but can't do it without (AI) help?
