Episode notes

Exploring the difference between current software and the future vision of software, the speakers discuss how customization in software is limited, comparing it to staying at a hotel where everyone gets the same room. They emphasize that the current software could unknowingly limit our thinking.

This show might be a first in the history of podcasts:

Researcher Geoffrey Litt and I built an app together using ChatGPTapp and Replit in under 60 minutes—while we talked.

We wanted to show how AI and ChatGPT change who gets to build software and how they usher in a world where everyone can modify and remix the apps they use every day.

So we did it live, and ChatGPT delivered a working prototype at the end of the episode.

It was a tiny glimpse of the future—and it pushes the boundaries of what a show can be. It honestly left me speechless and it'll change the way you think about software. If it does, make sure to subscribe, share, and leave us a review!
