San Francisco Sees Rise of 'Builders' Without Tech Experience

A peculiar trend is emerging in San Francisco where individuals with no prior technical background are self-identifying as 'builders.' This phenomenon extends to teenagers creating their own video games and those without coding experience proudly showcasing their self-made apps and digital agents on professional networking platforms like LinkedIn. The term 'builder' appears to have become a loosely defined badge of honor, reflecting a broader cultural shift or perhaps a new form of digital aspiration.
