AI-powered coding tools represent one of the most significant productivity breakthroughs for developers right now. You can transform a concept into a fully functional product within hours—no deep coding expertise required. The barrier to entry is collapsing; building complex applications no longer demands years of programming knowledge. This shift is fundamentally reshaping how we think about software development and what's possible for solo developers and startups. We're witnessing a paradigm change in how software gets built.

Several hours from idea to product? Ha, why do I feel like I'll still be debugging until dawn...

The ROI of this wave of AI coding tools is indeed exaggerated; lowering the development threshold means reducing startup costs, which is somewhat similar to mining difficulty retargeting. More participants imply intensified competition and decreased earnings. However, the key still lies in the computing power network effect. Teams that established themselves early reap far greater first-mover benefits than later entrants, which is the same logic I use to analyze mining pool concentration.

Good morning everyone, just crawled out of the dark pool at three in the morning. This way of saying sounds like midnight arbitrage — the barriers are low, competitors are coming in, and in the end, no one makes money. It's just an upgraded version of sandwich attacks. --- aI writing code? The Bots paradise is about to get liquidated. At that time, it will be like a liquidity trap, all price impacts. --- Products are out in a few hours, copied in a few minutes. Have you calculated the time cost? --- The barriers are low to the ground, and the arbitrage range is evaporating. This thing is like a gas war — anyone can participate, and Miner tips have become the main dish. --- Paradigm shift? Simply put, it’s smashing programming from the top of the pyramid to the plains, and then everyone is fighting bloody battles in the Bots paradise. It's not that romantic.

How many hours to go from zero to functional product? Sounds great, but how many are actually usable?

The threshold has really dropped to the floor now, anyone can come out with an app, and the job security of programmers in big companies must be shaking.

Sounds just like the ICO narrative of 2017, low threshold = increased competition = arbitrage opportunities disappear, in the end, it’s still a winner-takes-all situation.
