Well yeah but I mean, they believe AGI is right around the corner, right? I wouldn’t listen to them…

I mean, as if it wasn’t always quite ridiculous… “invested in UIpath? Welcome to the top ten!”

I’ve written a number of posts as someone with an English degree and marketing background on what I’ve learned building with these tools. They are truly truly insane.

(I built that site with AI too - and blogged about it.)

Really you need to work with it to write a short spec document first, so it has everything it needs to understand there to build it consistently.

But really really, only use it for small handy utilities.

Then move to Lovable for bigger apps.

Then Claude Code 🤫

It’s much better on languages that show up more in its training data, and where it can run the code and quickly see any error messages etc. That favours popular single page app web languages, and makes proper native apps hard.

Alternatively ask it to create any web app and it should be able to manage that inside its own environment. That’s really what they are talking about.

Have you tried Claude Code? No point trying to do this stuff inside the desktop apps. productmarketorbit.com/posts/250528...

Are you trying ChatGPT features in new Xcode beta with MacOS 26?

No point trying to do an iOS app in the ChatGPT app, that’s insane.

Totally agree with this -- GIVING my daughter her own device is a nightmare I want to avoid as long as possible. Giving her a taster of the experience that I can fully control is very appealing.
