ryanflorence notes that non-techies around him are doing techie things with AI: his vacation-home manager, a guy in his 50s who has never programmed, built an entire property-management dashboard with Codex.
He used to bounce between a dozen apps to control cameras, locks, AV, and blinds across his houses — now one self-built dashboard connects to all the devices. Another concrete data point of AI turning ordinary people into builders.
