alt Hacker NewsMy partner wrote an android app which was doing what she wanted to do. She did this experiment 5 month ago and she did this in one day.
My wife has 0 knowledge how any of this works.
That was shocking to see.
Progress is not stoping and Fable proves that.

You could always do this, though.
Before gen code killed the freelance business model, there were hoards of people on Upwork/Fiverr willing to fuck other freelancers over and underpay themselves to make whatever barely-working slop you wanted.
Hell, before managers got the idea of AI layoffs, they had been off-shoring to low-quality code sweatshops for years. That was supposed to kill software engineering in the States 20 years ago. And it was just as frustrating (if not moreso) to get them to actually fulfill the project requirements.
I'd say creating a project is 5% of the job and maintaining it over time 95% of it.
It's true that they can start amazing projects without guidance but then the real work begins.
You can scaffold out a simple app pretty easily. Anything large or complex things break down. If you don’t know what you’re doing you end up leaking secrets like the dozens of examples we’ve seen so far.
