What happens when software is disposable, data is the IP, and computers finally adapt to us? Building things while figuring it out.

@DanielSmidstrup What are you building?

@dhh @namespacelabs Time to take on the phone OS @dhh…please?

@Its_Nova1012 Nope…the opposite

@coryalthoff Feels like it but not reality

@itsvishaltwt Claude Code for most but still have a $20 ChatGPT account for image gen and other things. A lot about feel.

@MrNiceTry Dude, that’s nuts

@i_mika_el @X Only a few hours of steady progress. Once it showed data, my mind was blown away. Talk about a rush.

I'm fascinated by where computing is headed. What happens when software becomes disposable, personal data becomes the real IP, and operating systems evolve beyond launching apps?

Sometimes it's just fun to build things and solve your own problems.

[martybvasquez @martybvasquez]

I've learned something new every time I've built anything with AI, even if it's silly and has no commercial value. It helps me understand the nuances of conducting in a way nothing else can. Can’t think of something to build? Build something to solve your own problem no matter how small. For me, it’s always been worth it.

@andreigec If you are burning that many tokens and there’s ROI, you get another sub.

[martybvasquez @martybvasquez]

@TheXSami Been building a ton of personal apps. It’s amazing to be able to build something in a way my brain works and freeing that I don’t have to think of any user other than myself. So much friction was removed in my daily work. Made me love using my Mac again.

[martybvasquez @martybvasquez]

You're missing the point. Many people spent most of their lives, from college through junior and senior developer roles, grinding out a living. This is what they know and are good at; their identities are attached to it, and it has suddenly evaporated in a few years. The sentiment that SaaS/software is dead in most cases reflects the threat to their well-being and security, and pivoting to SaaS isn't an option either. New and exciting jobs may emerge long-term, but that seems hazy now, leaving many asking “now what?” Building cool stuff is fun, but it pulled the rug out from under many people.

@theo The death of front-end is in sight.

@Henryf1w What is creativity?

@EnvolDev Vercel 90% of the time

[martybvasquez @martybvasquez]

@Sathxplorer @harisahmad59 This is the correct answer

[martybvasquez @martybvasquez]

Just-in-time operating systems and software is inevitable.

Websites will become your structured data and capabilities for AI agents to consume.

WebMCP feels like the beginning of that shift.

So…How long before the death of frontend?
