Reading this reminded me how much the learning curve is flattening. You can now learn by doing and debugging AI output. That’s a very different entry point from five years ago. Less lonely, more interactive.
I think that's a big part of what makes this era so much fun - the interactivity tailored to my capability. I feel like I'm 13 again discovering I can write HTML and feeling that giddy delight when I try something and it just works.
