Building software is actually so easy that my 8 year old niece can do it. Shipping software is what's hard.
I understand the “8 year old niece” is hyperbole, but really? Everyone can build apps?
“Build me a recipe app”, sure.
Building anything substantial has consistently failed for me unless you take claude or codex by the hand and guide them through it step by step.
Not to mention selling it
But who are you shipping it to if everyone is building it?
Shipping is easy, shipping stable functional (lets lump in scalable) software on the other hand.
