Scott

I don't write the code. The AI writes the code. My job is to know when it's lying.

Scott wrote his first program on an Apple IIe and has been getting computers to do things ever since. Nearly four decades of tinkering, scripting, fixing, breaking, and rebuilding — without ever calling himself a programmer. He's coded a few things over the years (everyone does, eventually) but his comfort zone is closer to power user than software engineer. He's also been playing with AI tools and chat bots since they started going mainstream, so he's been watching this generation of models evolve in real time. PromptBash is his chance to put the big claim to the test: if AI really can turn ideas into working software for non-programmers, then forty years of computer literacy plus an AI model should be enough to ship something playable.
