Wabi CEO Eugenia Kuyda on who gets to build now:
"The only people who could make software up until last year or so [were] just professional developers... Very few people in the world."
"Even if you have a good idea, go ahead, find an engineer, find a co-founder, find a technical co-founder to build this. But you can't really otherwise build it... It requires a lot."
"But now anyone can."
