As someone that goes back to the early 90s in my career, and who lived through the whole dot com boom… My perspective remains unchanged from decades ago.
Without diminishing the skill it takes to make a quality app, the fundamental truth that I could never get across to people is that an idea, some underlying tech infrastructure and an app are the smallest part of making a business work. The business part is the hard part.
These tools have made it easier than ever for people to run off half cocked and make the same mistake that’s been made for 4 decades. And they appeal to the worst sensibility, the incorrect assumption that if you build it they will come.
