I find so many of these comments and debates fascinating as a lay person. I'm more tech savy than mostI meet, built my own PCs, know my way around some more 'advanced' things like terminal a bit and have a deeper understanding of computer systems, software, etc. than most people I know. It has always been more of a hobby for me. People look at me as the 'tech' guy even though I'm actually not.

Something I know very little about is coding. I know there are different languages with pros and cons to each. I know some work across operating systems while others don't but other than that I don't know too much.

For the first time I just started working on my own app in Codex and it feels absolutely amazing and magical. I've not seen the code, would have basically no idea how to read it, but i'm working on a niche application for my job that it is custom tailored to my needs and if it works I'll be thrilled. Even better is that the process of building is just feels so special and awesome.

This really does feel like it is on the precipice of something entirely different. I think back to computers before a GUI interface. I think back to even just computers before mobile touch interfaces. I am sure there are plenty of people who thought some of these things wouldn't work for different reasons but I think that is the wrong idea. The focus should be on who this will work for and why and there, I think, there are a ton of possibilities.

For reference, I'm a middle school Assistant Principal working on an app to help me with student scheduling.

Keep building and keep learning, I think you are the kind of user that stands to benefit the most from this technology.
