It's great time to be a builder
summary
Argues that AI plus modern tools like Expo + AI shrinks the gap from idea-to-app so a single engineer can go from concept to production in days instead of months. Gives a concrete accessibility case: the author builds Speak Easy in a day and a half to let a father tap letters and regain communication, crediting hundreds to thousands of underlying contributors. Claims boilerplate and wiring become cheap, velocity replaces friction, and one person with judgment can now ship what used to need ten.
