Yes! "Does an AI know how to do that? Does a coding assistant know that an app is really a giant collection of details?"

There are just so many small decisions that add up to a consistent vision for a piece of software. It doesn't seem like LLMs are going to be able to meaningfully contribute to that in the near future.

I tried vibecoding my own workout tracker, but there were so many small details to think through that it was frustrating. I gave up and found an app that is clearly made by a team of experienced, thoughtful people and AI can't replicate the sheer thoughtfulness of every decision that was made to create this app. The inputs for reps/sets, algorithms for adjusting effort on the fly, an exercise library with clear videos and explanations; there's just no way to replicate that without people who have been trainers and sport scientists for decades.

LLMs can help increase the speed that these details turn in to something tangible, but you definitely can't "skip all that crap and just jump to the end and get on with it."
