Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the Building Great Tech podcast, hosts Simon Hook and Anastasija Krysa delve into the rapidly evolving landscape of AI coding tools, projected to grow from $6 billion in 2024 to over $25 billion by 2030. They discuss the exciting potential of platforms like Lovable and Blink, which empower non-technical founders to bring their ideas to life through natural language prompts.

However, Simon and Anastasija also highlight the critical challenges that come with relying solely on AI for product development, including the high abandonment rate of apps and the importance of human context and validation.
