Summary

Kent C. Dodds discusses the rise of "invisible software," where AI agents generate custom apps on demand for non-developers, going from millions to billions of people effectively writing code via agents, and mentions his bet on building Kody.

I'm planning a video right now to talk about this exact thing. I'm calling it "invisible software." When it becomes so easy to generate a custom app for something specific, more people will do it. But they won't ask for an app, they'll just ask for a problem to be solved and the agent will write the code under the hood to solve it. Whether it's visual or not. It will be code running it. We're going from millions of developers writing code with agents, to billions of people writing code with agents. The future is very exciting! And requires massive scale. And of course, this is what I'm betting on by building Kody 😉

I’m planning a video right now to talk about this exact thing. I’m calling it “invisible software.” When it becomes so easy to generate a custom app for something specific, more people will do it. But they won’t ask for an app, they’ll just ask for a problem to be solved and the agent will write the code under the hood to solve it. Whether it’s visual or not. It will be code running it.

We’re going from millions of developers writing code with agents, to billions of people writing code with agents.

The future is very exciting! And requires massive scale.

And of course, this is what I’m betting on by building Kody 😉

Kenton Varda (@KentonVarda): Prediction: Most people will stop using docs, slides, or spreadsheets in the next year, instead prompting an agent for custom code for every task.

Each of these apps is just as “easy mode” version of something else that used to take far more time and skill to create:

Docs: Easy
