How can non-technical people build an MVP app to demo today?

This is now a reality for non-technical people: you can build an MVP app to demo, with zero technical knowledge and a series of prompts.

It's a skill, but it's not coding. And that is just fine. I had a go at building my first Python app over Christmas using a similar approach (as a non-programmer). I then went on to use cursor.com, which is amazing.

The people with the ideas are always more powerful than the people with the facts. This approach can help democratise the first stage of product development to a point where someone, somewhere will buy/invest.

I think this creation mode will develop to a point where it will become the default mode for all app development. The next level up is to accurately consider architectural requirements, scaling, performance, security etc. It will then develop so that AI agents will write the code without human intervention.

My view: don't rely on coding alone to be a sustainable career
