2. Strategic AI Assistance for Developers
Good developers can use AI strategically to do heavy lifting, such as writing repetitive REST endpoints or learning a new domain like Ruby.

Building great software got easier than ever, and AI is helping a lot. So what happened in the last years is that the JavaScript ecosystem, for example, it's very mature, very well documented. There are tools for almost everything, meaning that if you have an idea, you can basically prototype it very, very fast. Infrastructure, it's also getting a lot cheaper, AI it's pushing companies to build compute power for AI, meaning that storage and compute power is getting a lot cheaper even if you just want to host a a simple website.
And finally, if you are a good developer, you will go much faster using AI, because instead of trying to vibe code everything, you can use AI strategically to do the heavy lifting for you. For example, you know, when you're writing repetitive rest endpoints, you can use AI for that. If you're getting into a new domain, like you're a JavaScript developer and you want to learn a bit of Ruby, you can use AI for that.
etc. AI will make programming more accessible for developers themselves first, more than for non-developers.
