AI Coding - What’s going to be different?
More software
More bad software (buggy, bad ux, hard to use)
The value of design / designers goes up
Very large value in someone / an established big company creating a standardized design library that AI knows how to use incredibly well and is fool proof for usability.
I’m looking to Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, Figma, Meta, TikTok. Each would have a lot to win by becoming the default interface provider. Google/Meta/TikTok - They can include the JS they want/need for ads, analytics, etc.
Cursor/OpenAI/Anthropic - they can lock customers in, become the default answer and then offer a premium version at extra cost down the road.
Figma - can re-assert relevance
Think of how much Apple’s iOS has dominated UX for the last 15+ years. There is a lot of power there, and Apple gets to invent the defaults as it evolves the UI/UX - giving them significant advantages in building the future.
I also think of Stripe and how they standardized the checkout experience — which drives business to adopt Stripe so their users have less friction on checkout in part because the customers know how it works / trust it.
More people solving problems with software
I already hear of self-described non technical people building software and loving their new abilities
More people able to build == More ideas tried
Images as input for AI to learn your life
Great thinking / realization. I hadn’t considered images / camera roll as a source for my future AI agent to learn my life. Clever, rich approach.

WarTech: Chinese UAV - Grenade Drone
Is it real? If not, I’m sure it will be very soon. Smaller than many Ukrainian grenade drones and fully autonomous.
