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.

Have you met anyone who is able to communicate their needs?
Not what they want, but was they really need?
i have not seen numbers or graphs on it yet, but a similar tendency emerges in the #startup scene - which somehow in many places is seen as a valid indicator for #value or #impact
on a recent hackathon i heard that you can now launch 10 companies a day, as #agentic #AI will take care of all the necessary steps.
Essentially, it becomes #AI slopping for and to itself.
It might be time to give all this its closed network somewhere, where humans dont have to witness.
