A great example of how being able to write code more quickly doesn’t translate to business or user value.

While the number of apps in the App Store has exploded given the rise of AI coding tools, the number of apps with 10 or more user ratings is actually plummeting.

@carnage4life My question is, how many people now have exactly the tool they need and didn't have before? Bespoke software that perfectly fulfills your needs is pretty valuable, even if that doesn't translate into micro-transactions.

Have you met anyone who is able to communicate their needs?

Not what they want, but was they really need?
