I’m considering knitting.

I am seeing more and more stories about people that don't know how to program are using AI to create software products. On a surface level, that suggests that the barrier to entry for software development is lower. But there are at least two new factors: cost of the tools and expectations in the market, which change the equation regarding what makes a product viable.

I'm curious about how the barrier to entry for creating software products has changed since the rapid proliferation of AI development tools.

I’m curious where others have experienced problems where alternatives are hard to find and or switch to.

On the production side, there are obvious benefits. I'm more curious on the receiving side. How do you feel when you encounter AI generated voices in marketing or educational material?

My podcast listening dropped off a cliff when suddenly I no longer had a commute a few years back. Recently I've been interested in finding new shows -- daunting task, better to ask!

What are y'all listening to on the tech and general interest side?

With all the new PaaS offerings today, what is the current attraction of Heroku vs Render, Fly, Railway, etc.? If you are currently on Heroku, are you thinking of leaving?
