I used to think the barrier was skill

For years the story was that some people are technical and some are not. Then I sat with something that knows, can guide me, and knows when to push back. It is never sick, never tired, never unavailable. It gives me the knowledge, and then something shifts. I realize I can make good decisions myself. Even when I make mistakes now, they are not from a lack of information.

That is when I saw the barrier was never skill. It was distance. AI did not give me ideas. I already had those. It shortened the road between thinking a thing and building it.
