The article discusses a transformative experience with a non-technical customer successfully using AI tools to integrate Podscan's API. Unlike traditional users familiar with technical documentation, this customer demonstrated that even those without coding expertise can create sophisticated systems leveraging AI. This shift indicates a growing trend in software development where users build personalized solutions tailored to their needs, reflecting ideas from the "Selfish Software" concept. This new generation of users challenges longstanding assumptions about who can effectively work with APIs and software development.
