I think you haven't dealt with a lot of non-coders. 90% of the world will not be able to even open a .py

90 percent of the world doesn't need to be able to open a .py, when their 20 dollar a month agent does it for them.

Just like how we don't need to be able to open our kernels and manually update the OS, the software company does it for us. It helps knowing the kernel, but you can still get the security updates even if you don't know how to.

And I think you should avoid making assumptions about people you know nothing about. That is so far from the truth it’s not even funny.

Which is nowhere near my argument. I’d appreciate if you engaged with what I said or not at all.

    I don't know why you're trying to start a fight about this to be honest. I never said coders need to use vscode but yes they need to be comfortable with opening files in some editor obviously.

    I'm sure you have a problem with that statement too but keep it to yourself because I don't want to hear it.

      Again with the assumptions. I don’t know you, I have no interest in fighting you.

      I know very few people who are so bad at computers that they would struggle with that. Heck, even Notepad is enough. That’s not a meaningful barrier.

      Furthermore, even the free plan of Claude can create ready-made scripts you need only download and then they give you guided instructions to make it executable. So not even dealing with text editors is necessary many times.

      The way to stop replies is to stop replying yourself. You pushed the conversation. You have the right and ability to stop whenever you so desire.
