    What does it help you with? I can definitely see having snippets or “modular” code on hand as being useful, but you don’t really need a LLM for that. What sets it apart? Is there a big time commitment necessary to get to the desired outputs or does it just do what you want right away?

      It helps with avoiding learning templates in your IDE or literally any other feature that’s been around for decades.

      On mobile but two real quick examples:

      The prompting in both of these cases started with an idea (“give me a cute penguin SVG logo”) and refined (“make the beak smaller and more round… add a purple background…” etc)

      For more in-depth rather than one off features, this whole app was basically coded with AI (and I use it everyday, the quality is fantastic): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.widget.uvindex

        Hmm, I guess if you’re happy with the output here that’s all that matters. For me, the visual elements look really uninspired and mediocre. But if you’re still in the startup/iteration stage then I suppose the unfinished look makes sense.

        I guess it’s a good place to start? Maybe? Depends if the code is easy to maintain. I was more interested in how you feel the AI adds to your existing coding workflow, but maybe you aren’t a professional programmer? I am getting the impression that the AI is doing most of the work here but maybe I have the wrong idea.
