alt Hacker NewsIf you read the article, you'll see that the author took the same approach one would use when writing an app manually from scratch:
> I started with a simple hello world application. Then added in the habit list, the ability to add a habit, edit a habit and so on.
This hands-on, incremental approach works, of course. But I don't think it is the most effective way of using LLMs to write apps.

1. Which apps should be built like this?
2. Which apps shouldn't be built like this?
My instinct is that any app worth building and using for a long time should be built incrementally. Otherwise, slop.

It's not apparent if these were exclusively free LLMs though. I still don't quite understand the time scale unless the author didnt pay...which would be really impressive
