Escape the tech bubble and you're going to have a very different take.

AppleScript, VB script, IFTT, so many "drag and drop to program" systems that failed. The holy grail for a long time has been automation in users hands. Let them have their own scripts and solutions.

I have lawyers and writers talking to me about "docker containers" and "cron jobs" all of a sudden. You think they figured that out on their own - or is what they are running all from the output of AI/LLM?

There is an ocean of code out there that is being run by one or a hand full of users, automating tasks that you never would have looked at because it would have fallen outside the "is it worth your time" (see: https://xkcd.com/1205/) matrix (never mind the dollar cost of coder vs office drone).
