This is the actual tag line on Supabase's website today, one of the leading database providers for AI coders.

This is the dream that they are (successfully) selling. But is it true?

There are two sides to this: Like NFTs, crypto, and meme stocks during COVID, there is no shortage of people looking for a quick, effortless buck.

Right now, it’s safe to assume that everyone can build something in a weekend with AI.

Most people can even build something that looks impressive/halfway decent.

But aside from looking good, it’s unlikely there’s much depth there, let alone enough depth to actually scale to millions. It’s no different than saying “grab our pickaxe, strike it rich from the gold pouring out of these mountains!”

Maybe ONE person will win that lottery, but it’s exceedingly rare.

The truth? Most people are too lazy to get anything meaningful from software, even with AI help.

Most people will code feverishly for a weekend and then drop it like a New Year’s Resolution.

To build something meaningful takes consistency and patience. Two human traits that are always in short supply.
