| > digital marketing people who were "tech savvy" but had no programming experience who have launched websites that would have cost them thousands of dollars to build. Static Websites have been commoditizatized for decades now. We had : - one-click deploy Open-Source CMS - single page places like Geocities providing own domain - design templates where you just add your own logo, tagline, etc This is just yet another way to do that but the ability to have that result was there for "digital marketing people" since the early 2000s, if not earlier. In fact since the Internet existed there have been tools and resources for non developer to make Websites. PS: it's roughly the same for mobile Apps, namely having a basic App like a ToDo list had had scaffolding for years, including countless dedicated to non-developers. |
I think way too many engineers underestimate the ability of tech-savvy non-engineers to use AI to build quite sophisticated applications today.
Would these scale to millions of users? Are they totally secure? Surely no. But if we're being honest, most freelancers and agencies haven't been producing highly-scalable, highly-secure work product either.
