An open-source project, Accountability, aims to demonstrate building complex applications like an accounting system using AI without proprietary techniques.
Software development is no longer a craft limited to experts; AI empowers average operators to create software.
Software engineering evolves from writing code to designing systems that generate code, requiring new best practices and team structures.
The AI-driven Industrial Revolution of Software is making software abundant and cheap, with drastic economic implications.
