>If asked ~3 years ago where the state of the models are today, it would sound like sci-fi if answered, "the models are creating full MVP apps in ~30 minutes with one prompt".
The first one-shot app was created with ChatGPT in June 2023 - 3 years ago. In my experience, the current result of one-shotting apps is just as bad today as it was back then.
What “full MVP app” are you talking about? I know of none that have been anywhere near production ready. With all due respect, I think you’re portraying fantasy as reality. I would love to be proven wrong.

Hard disagree. Take a good SaaS starter template and do a bunch of harness engineering. You can get an agent to shit out production grade stuff. You might argue that's cheating, but there's nothing stopping you from doing it, and it works. It's only getting better too.
When did you last try this? Here's a prompt for you:
> It's really important to me you make sensible decisions here, and don't bother me with the small stuff. I want a plant-watering app me and my wife can share, that shows who watered which plants in our house. I'll deploy this on my home server with Coolify. The app should be attractive, work both on desktop and mobile. We have a bunch of cases where we have multiples of one plant type. We'll need separate users, but don't go overboard with auth. I want to impress her, so let's lean on the side of more rather than fewer, features, but I don't really wanna run anything that won't just fit in a single container with some persistent storage. We're the only two users who'll ever actually give this a go. Visually attractive is important to me.
