> My wife, who has no clue about coding at all, chatgpted a very basic android app only with guidance of chatgpt. She would never ever been able to do this in 5 hours or so without my guidance. I DID NOT HELP HER at all.

I swear people have forgotten how productive native programming 30 years ago was (Delphi, even VB)

compared to the disaster that is the web today

Literally all much of the business world needed was a slightly more capable VB but now we have a bunch of crappy, web browser based SaaS platforms instead.

There has been a legitimate hole after Excel, where Access, VB or other tools sat to help businesses grow.

When that hole wasn't as big, it seemed fewer software projects failed.

I know what app builders are but she talked to a computer system, told it what she wanted and it WALKED HER through all the steps and i think she used android studio.

She did all of this in a few hours and doesn't work with computers.
