Building software has become trivial. The moat has moved. Creative software companies that don't figure out where it went are going to find themselves outflanked by every enterprise that decides to just build their own.

For decades, software was a refuge for people who'd rather talk to a computer than a person. AI just took that conversation away, asking us to find our voices in a room full of humans instead.

The more powerful our tools become, the more they cost us in something we don't measure: the slow, frustrating, essential work of learning.

I've been a Raycast loyalist for years. Then BetterTouchTool 6.493 shipped a full SwiftUI launcher, and in one weekend I rebuilt three plugins that outperformed what I had in Raycast.
