For designers, it’s a great way to get a deeper understanding of relationships between dB’s, APIs and how this can impact user experience but most importantly, it super-charges prototyping.

Once I started wiring up APIs, databases, and making things data-driven… I missed working with a good dev. Using Claude as your “CTO” helps a lot, plus ChatGPT for strategy.

AI’s good at scaffolding the basics but unsurprisingly needs more and more prompting/hand-holding as complexity increases.

Seeing a functional full-stack app take shape relatively quickly from prompts was really exciting, startups and internal R&D teams will flourish having these tools to validate quicker/fail fast etc.
