I feel like existing models and platforms still have a bit of work to do to make this easy for everyone, but overall I agree that this is the direction things are headed. I have very minimal programming experience, but I was able to put together a personal project manager that I'm actually using in my personal life and at work.
The thing that blew me away was that this took ~2 hours total time and I didn't touch the code at all - this was 100% done using Cursor. Similarly, I've been building other tools that I use at work and my team is starting to roll them into our standard workflows because they work well.
There are many instances where I struggle to get it to make what I want, but overall I've been really impressed by how much it has helped me and by how easy it has been to start building my own personal software.
