I feel like this might start becoming a lot more common, due to all the hype and marketing surrounding AI. Seems a lot of ppl believe anyone can build an app in one-shot and we don’t need experienced engineers anymore.

When they ask a question like “why can’t we just one-shot the app”, it puts you on the hot seat to explain the entire development process to them, and all the steps it takes to get to a production quality app. AI can be used to assist and augment that process but you need a human in the loop to know and understand what they are doing. Rather than just telling them “go ahead and try it yourself”, how would you respond to this? How would you explain why AI can’t just make the entire app? How would you breakdown the step by step process of building an entire application?

Thanks
