> How can there be such a massive gap in what can be produced?
What I was doing looks really nice and mostly works on the surface, but it is all about the corner cases where these bugs appear. In another day I was able to generate Frida script with LLM help that bypasses Dart certificate pinning/validation and proxies all the traffic by injecting the runtime binaries. With the latest Flutter/Dart version on Android when doing security analysis.
Ahhh ok I totally understand what you mean. Yea the edge cases are absolutely where you start to feel the pain and things look good on the surface until you dig in. I think even in the age of LLMs the adage of 90% of the time is spent of the last 10% will ring true.
Sure an app can be built and spun up in an afternoon, but are you willing to spend another 6 months ironing out all those little bugs, tuning it a bit, testing, tweaking, testing etc.
