Sam, may I ask you one Q? Why did you decide to publish a book if there is this way of "I am creating some text and sending it everywhere"? What meaning or importance does the book have for you on top of this text? Thank you.
Valid! And I hesitated to write the book. But I had the letters already and people wanted them as a book. Also, I could turn the book into a custom GPT - another illustration of “words on the page are cheap”
Understand and honestly I am an old school book lover (though I use ereader obviously) so I have feeling for people asking for it. I am however genuinely interested in the psychology around - do you think, changing a format to something, that years ago has been considered "more valid a trustful" is still a point - in other words, changing a form can be considered less hallucination? E.g. LLM producing code is considered more reliable and trustworthy than LLM giving a final answer?
And coming back to the code metaphor, to me calligraphy is an distilled art form rather than writing itself. Also writing a book is something that pushes the author to revisit the text, combine, align, create a compelling and cohesive storyline. Isn't the future of coding the art of distilling and changing a text to beauty?
Why do people still build their own websites today when WordPress exists? No-code tools have existed for quite some time and have yet to take over the whole industry, though they are useful at the margins.

I think it depends on what you are wanting to make.
How does a person get from idea to a full on car?
How does a person get from an idea to a door handle?
How does a person get from idea to a foldable airplane?
Idea - code - manifestation
How does a person get from idea to functioning app?
There are so many ways to scaffold transformation and hopefully it becomes modular and accessible, based on what?
Depends on the need.
Little by little we are getting there :)
