A solution for this in my opinion, is the same solution that everybody and their dog is afraid of taking their job: llms. I'm not taking about "chatgpt, write me an android clone, make no mistakes". But large software project

I have always wondered if you REALLY could use LLM systems like chatgpt and deepseek to "generate" a complete website/app. I'd got an idea for a small side-project, so I decided to see if I can do it without coding mysel
