Have a listen to Azeem Azhar’s latest episode of the Exponential view podcast with Thomas Dohmke, CEO of GitHub. It is tangential to this thinking. Maybe the future is instant personal apps on your phone, constantly adapted and changing according to your intent (and whim). Who needs an App Store when you can just conjure up any app or agent you need by saying the word. Apps are just holding us back. This is the next trillion dollar business. Abracadabra.

Thanks, I'll go check it out! But, totally agree. The idea of spinning up personal apps on demand is a huge shift. Why download, install, and learn a tool when you can just ask for what you need and get it instantly?
Might even end the Apple/Google hegemony. Come thinking of it more likely Google gonna be quick on this ball when they realize the potential, while Apple will take its time. Would excellent to see some alternatives though, Samsung and Huawei maybe? Maybe an up-and-comer?
