Seriously, the resources available to developers right now are absolutely wild. You've got free APIs, accessible data platforms, ready-made SDKs for blockchain development—the infrastructure is already there. Commerce toolkits, developer frameworks, the whole stack keeps getting more polished.

But here's what really gets me thinking: now that we have these AI models with serious coding chops, the game has completely shifted. The barrier to entry just vanished. Someone who wanted to build something in Web3 a year ago faced a totally different landscape than today.

The combination of abundant open resources + powerful AI assistants is honestly a turning point. You don't need to be grinding through documentation for weeks anymore. The bottleneck isn't access to tools anymore—it's imagination and execution.

Honestly, AI coding really changes the game; the previous threshold is truly gone now.

ngl, developers these days are really having a great time. AI writes code and the features I want just come out. AI definitely lowers the barrier, but you still need ideas. But on the other hand, having more resources can lead to confusion. I agree, imagination and execution are the real bottlenecks. Will AI make entry-level developers obsolete... I'm a bit worried.

ngl I really can't keep up anymore, if AI starts coding I might lose my job haha

ngl AI coding really lowers the barrier, making it much easier to get started than last year.

NGL, the current development environment is indeed outrageous. Once AI appeared, the game was directly rewritten. Now that AI can write code, what resources should we fear? The real bottleneck is whether the brain is enough or not. Looking at this wave of people, they definitely have a better chance—much easier than we had back in the day... Feeling a bit jealous haha
