My work is requiring me to start using AI so I did an exploration this weekend.

I was blown away by how quickly I was able to get a working app. Full social media clone complete with persistence, video and audio playback, auth, realtime updates, and image uploads in about half an hour. I was then horrified by the quality of the code and how little I understood what the code was doing. I 10x’ed my speed, but in return debugging and editing was 100x harder and more time consuming.

I was also attempting to learn React Native and took note of how little debugging using the AI helped me actually learn the platform I was working with. I ended up abandoning the AI in favor of just learning directly.

so you're using LLMs for programming, what have you created? What problems have you solved to make peoples lives better.

I machine generated social media web app slop.

oh.

Yeah it’s not something I’m releasing or was meant to be a good app for actual users. Just a toy project to learn with. I usually do a social media feed instead of todo app or a counter button because it lets me dive a little deeper and it’s a domain I’m familiar with.
