"Most of the software in the world falls under this big bucket of 'custom' and 'enterprise'... Starting a couple of years ago, I watched AI do really boring code things. Suddenly, the robot could do the thing. It could do a pretty credible job, get you started."
"This had been building up for a while. OpenAI let you code, Anthropic let you code. You sit down, and just as you would prompt it to answer your question, you could be like, 'Write me a script that converts from a legacy database format.' And it would do an OK job."
Paul Ford emphasizes the significant impact of AI on software development, particularly in custom and enterprise solutions. He notes that AI can perform mundane coding tasks effectively, which accelerates project timelines. This shift is linked to the rise of vibe coding, where users can prompt AI to generate code for specific tasks. Ford believes that while AI will enhance software creation, it won't lead to a world where everyone becomes a coder, but it will democratize access to software development tools.
