AI reward

There’s AI risks. But there’s also AI rewards. Especially when you write code for the layman who don’t want to code, not for other devs/enterprises.

I love @Winkletter’s take on AI opportunity:

The real shift is about information asymmetry and preparation cost. The knowledge that used to take years of community immersion to absorb–what readers actually want, how platform discovery works, what makes progression systems satisfying, how successful authors structure their business models–you’ve compressed that learning curve into a structured research phase. You still have to do the creative work. But you’re doing it with dramatically better situational awareness than most debut authors have… If I were explaining it to someone, I’d say: “The writing is mine. What AI changed is that I’m not writing blind.”

To build on that:

The code is no longer mine. But the product and business is still mine. What AI changed is that I’m no longer distracted by coding. No longer building blind.

What AI changed is I can now can validate ideas faster, cheaper, easier.
I can worry more about how to market my product than building.
I can serve my customers’ needs better and faster by building features they said they want.
I can create free tools that help them be more productive.
I can write blog articles faster and more easily that answers customers’ questions.

When you use AI to serve those who don’t want to code or use AI, the rewards are bountiful.

So, to hammer it in again:

Write code for the layman, not for other devs.
