Artificial Intelligence (AI)

My alarm bells always go off when I hear someone say "you don't need to know how to code now, you can build entire apps with LLMs."

In theory yes, an LLM can generate an app if you prompt it right. But it's way more effective at prototyping interfaces, writing helper functions / sdks, making code simpler, modifying slightly, etc. *Not* one shotting an entire app on its own.

I have not had a single instance where ChatGPT has written an entire app for me that I didn't need to write a ton of custom code to modify afterwards.

What am I missing? Is it all just marketing delusion when ppl say that?

If you were learning to code today, knowing where AI is and anticipating where its going, which coding language would you learn?

typescript + react + tailwind, also react native if you want to build mobile apps. not much you can't do with that stack. don't need to know python or ML (I don't) to know how to build products that use LLMs.
