Coded using Gemini Pro 2.5 (free version) in about 2-3 hours.

Single file including all html/js/css, Vanilla JS, no backend, scores persisted with localStorage.

Deployed using ubuntu/apache2/python/flask on a £5 Digital Ocean server (but could have been hosted on a static hosting provider as it's just a single page with no backend).

Images / metadata stored in an AWS S3 bucket.

I kind of love the diy aspect of ai coding.

A dermatologist a short while ago with this idea would have to find a willing and able partner to do a bunch of work -- meaning that most likely it would just remain an idea.

This isn't just for non-tech people either -- I have a decades long list of ideas I'd like to work on but simply do not have time for. So now I'm cranking up the ol' AI agents an seeing what I can do about it.

Well, image classification tasks don't require coding at all.

You just need one program that can read the training data, train a model, and then do the classification based on input images from the user.

This works for basically any kind of image, whether it's dogs/cats or skin cancer.

...none of this requires coding?

No additional coding.

You can take the code from a dog/cat classifier and use it for anything.

You only need to change the training data.

More seriously, for most non-programmers, even typing into a console is "coding."

I am a "noncoder" because of a number of reasons. My best friend is a "coder" and still starts instructions with "It's easy! Just open the terminal...".

Unfortunately, I do advanced knowledge work, and the tools I need technically often exist...if you're a coder.

Coding is not that accessible. The intermediary mental models and path to experience required to understand a coding task are not available to the average person.
