    If you’re listening to this and you’re thinking “Jesus Christian keep up, I’ve been doing that for months, I’ve been vibe coding, I’ve been deep in Claude” then fair enough, but I belong to the group of people who right now only scratch the surface of AI’s capabilities – and that is most people.
