I'm sure it's fun to see a series of text prompts turn into an app, but if you don't understand the code and can't fix it when it doesn't work without starting over, you're going to have a bad time. Sure, it takes time and effort to learn to program, but it pays off in the end.

Yeah, mostly agreed. In my experience so far, an experienced dev that's really putting time into their setup can greatly accelerate their output with these tools, while an inexperienced dev will end up taking way longer (and they'll understand less) than it would have if they worked normally
