Every role now requires you to build things. Intellectual curiosity has never been a more valuable trait in talent

a few years ago, I started out skeptical that many non-engineers really wanted to make/mod their own personal software -- but I've come around, think I was wrong. range of desires from:
- I feel so powerful
- no one will make me the workflow/personalization I need
- can I just PM the product for a few weeks and fix this thing that is driving me crazy

obvious in retrospect, but if the ease:power ratio is good enough, of course people will make their own software
