If you see articles from old computing magazines or TV shows in the 1980s (there’s some good rabbit holes on YouTube), the prevailing optimism was that everyone would have a computer in their kitchen and write their own programs for whatever they need to do..

Maybe now that original promise of personal computers can be realized :)

Imagine instead of going to the App Store, just telling ChatGPT etc to make a custom app and run it right away on your phone
