All these tools to build something, but nothing to build. I feel like I am part of a Pyramid Scheme where every product is about building something else, but nothing reaches the end user.

Note: nothing against fluid.sh, I am struggling to figure out something to build.

That is the problem with software developers with expertise in software, but no deep domain knowledge outside the CS world.

It is my belief with some exceptions it is almost always easier to teach a domain expert to code than it is to teach a software developer the domain.

It is my experience that most of these business domain experts snore the moment you talk about anything related to the difficulties of creating software.

Until a few months ago, domain experts who ciuldn't code would "make do" with some sort of Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet From Hell (MESFH), an unholy beast that would usually start small and then always grow up to become a shadow ERP (at best) or even the actual ERP (at worst).

The best part, of course, is that this mostly works, most of the time, for most busineses.

Now, the same domain experts -who still cannot code- will do the exact same thing, but AI will make the spreadsheet more stable (actual data modelling), more resilient (backup infra), more powerful (connect from/to anything), more ergonomic (actual views/UI), and generally more easy to iterate upon (constructive yet adversarial approach to conflicting change requests).
