It's kind of a crazy time in technology where we built a tool and we don't know all of the actual possibilities that it can be used for. Usually, we built a tool specifically to solve a problem. Now we just built a tool, in theory, to solve every problem. And it's kind of weird, because how do we test that it can solve every problem?
Build me a simple HTML app. This is the most useful thing I think, as a non-programmer, you should know about because now you can actually build simple apps that can help you in life.
The people who use AI the best are going to be the best managers. And what is a good manager? Is somebody who is able to clearly define a task, but also know exactly the capabilities of the person they're assigning it to. You can clearly define a task and you can give it to someone who doesn't have the skill set, the task isn't going to get done.

This is awesome. Would love to know more about how Zack created the appscript for his work collection and what went into — what does it do on backend (e.g. does it call ChatGPT etc.?) what is the 'prompt' that translates a quick sentence into an explanation of effort and outcome etc. Any chance you could share?
