Parrish: AI building its own application builders is over 20 years away
“Even though we can use voice to no code, we won't be able to use AI to just build the application builder itself likely by that point, just because there's a lot of server management logic and stuff like that, that needs to happen on the backend for that suppo…”

“Until we can really solve the problem of, you know, thoughts being coherent and not needing to write them down in a really, you know, technical way, I don't see it solving a huge challenge near term.”
