Somewhere on your feed right now, someone is bragging about the app they built in a weekend, no engineering background, no team, just a prompt and a Saturday. The post always ends the same way. Look what I built without needing any of you.
Anyone can build software now. That is the whole pitch, repeated in a hundred different captions this month alone.
Here is what that post never shows you. The part where someone checks it.
Not "does it run." Checks it. Someone who did not write it, looking for the version of it that fails, the input nobody thought to try, the assumption that was wrong in a way the builder was structurally the worst person to catch, because they were too close to their own idea to see the hole in it.
That someone is not optional. It is the actual job.
