The number of non-technical people in my orbit that could successfully pull up Claude code and one shot a basic todo app is zero. They couldn’t do it before and won’t be able to now.
You go to chatGPT and say "produce a detailed prompt that will create a functioning todo app" and then put that output into Claude Code and you now have a TODO app.
This is still a stumbling block for a lot of people. Plenty of people could've found an answer to a problem they had if they had just googled it, but they never did. Or they did, but they googled something weird and gave up. AI use is absolutely going to be similar to that.
Maybe I’m biased working in insurance software, but I don’t get the feeling much programming happens where the code can be completely stochastically generated, never have its code reviewed, and that will be okay with users/customers/governments/etc.
Even if all sandboxing is done right, programs will be depended on to store data correctly and to show correct outputs.
You don't need to draw the line between tech experts and the tech-naive. Plenty of people have the capability but not the time or discipline to execute such a thing by hand.
