as ai models become more capable, the distance between an idea and a working product keeps shrinking. with models like astra, fable, sol, and gemini 3.8, more people can build things that once required a team, a budget, and years of technical experience. the ability to execute is becoming widely available. deciding what deserves to exist is still a human responsibility.
that makes taste a more important differentiator: knowing what to leave out, which details deserve attention, and whether something actually makes someone’s life better. taste comes from curiosity, experience, and the willingness to question your first idea, even when a model can turn it into a polished product in minutes.
when anyone can build, what you choose to build says more about you. the tools give us more possibilities. taste helps us choose the ones worth pursuing.
