In 2016, Hugo Falk had launched the first version of his app, Learn it, and I was running a programme for SKR called Leda för smartare välfärd.

During one of our meetings, I brought Beata and Hugo together on stage, and this is what happened. Watch the video (it’s only six seconds long; you can manage that ;)
Listen. Think. Act.

Because what then, almost exactly ten years ago, required someone extraordinary like Hugo to “start coding”... today requires only what Bea highlights: understanding the problem and knowing what you want to do. That, and the willingness to sit down with AI and actually do something about it.

What a time to be alive.

## Original wording

2016 hade Hugo Falk lanserat första versionen av sin app, Learn it och jag körde ett program för SKR som hette Leda för smartare välfärd. 

Under ett av våra möten sammanförde jag Beata och Hugo på scenen och följande utspelade sig. Se videon (den är bara sex sekunder lång, det klarar du ;) 
Lyssna. Klura. Agera.

För det som då – ganska exakt tio år sedan – krävde en supermänniska som Hugo för att ”börja koda” ... kräver idag bara det som Bea lyfter fram: att du fattar vad problemet är, och vet vad du vill göra. Det, och viljan att sitta ner med AI och faktiskt göra något åt saken. 

What a time to be alive.
