[Glitch Blog: “Yes Code” Is How Coding Evolves With AI](https://blog.glitch.com/post/yes-code-coding-with-ai?ref=birchtree.me)

> we also think that the widespread accessibility of these tools will make *more* people into coders. Or put another way, it will make more people who are coders realize that they *are* coders. We’ve long said that anyone who ever made a really complex spreadsheet formula, or who hacked on a Neopets or MySpace website back in the day, or who installed an advanced Minecraft mod — they’re all coders!

I think this article is too harsh on “no code” solutions, but I do agree with the overall point that these tools that let you turn plain language into code are hugely useful and empowering. [I even wrote about](https://birchtree.me/blog/hot-ai-summer/) how GitHub’s Copilot feature is helping me develop features for my side project that I was not able to figure out previously.

Just like how Shortcuts enabled more people to get into automation, I think these new tools are going to allow more people to do more with their computers than before, and it’s hard to see that as a bad thing.
