Github: Dream it in the morning, build it in the afternoon: Collapsing the distance from idea to impact

Author: GitHub - Bewertung: 5x - Views:15

Calculators to code, sketches to shipped apps. The distance from idea to impact is collapsing, thanks to AI-powered development and GitHub Copilot.. What once took months now takes days. But speed alone brings new questions: What gets built, and who decides? In this era of instant possibility, creativity, intent, and imagination matter more than ever — the work that truly moves the world forward.
