    Greenfielding webapps is the easiest, most basic kind of project around. that’s something you task a junior with and expect that they do it with no errors. And after that you instantly drop support, because webapps are shovelware.

      So you’re saying there’s no such thing as complex webapps and that there’s no such thing as senior web developers, and webapps can basically be made by a monkey because they are all so simple and there’s never any competent developers that work on them and there’s no use for them at all?

      Where do you think we are?

          Who says I made my webapp with ChatGPT in an afternoon?

          I built it iteratively using ChatGPT, much like any other application. I started with the scaffolding and then slowly added more and more features over time, just like I would have done had I not used any AI at all.

          Like everybody knows, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

            So you treated it like a junior developer and did a thorough review of its output.

            I think the only disagreement here is on the semantics.
