Sarah Guo 改变了看法：非工程师也想做自己的软件
她列了几种动机：动手做软件带来的力量感、没人替自己实现的工作流，以及想花几周修好的恼人问题。
乔木改写
几年前，Sarah Guo 怀疑是否真有很多非工程师想自己制作或修改个人软件。现在，她改变了看法，觉得自己当时想错了。
她列了几种人们想做个人软件的理由：
- 自己也能做软件，感觉很有力量。
- 没人会替自己做出需要的工作流或个性化设置。
- 想当几周产品经理，修好那个一直让自己烦躁的地方。
她回头看觉得，这其实不难理解：只要工具容易上手、能力又够强，人们当然会愿意做自己的软件。

Non-engineers do want to make personal software
a few years ago, I started out skeptical that many non-engineers really wanted to make/mod their own personal software -- but I've come around, think I was wrong. range of desires from:
- I feel so powerful
- no one will make me the workflow/personalization I need
- can I just PM the product for a few weeks and fix this thing that is driving me crazy
obvious in retrospect, but if the ease:power ratio is good enough, of course people will make their own software
