I have about 6 months of coding experience. All I really knew was how to build a basic MERN app

I’ve been using Sonnet 3.5 to code and I’ve managed to build multiple full fledged apps, including paid ones

Maybe they’re not perfect, but they work and I’ve had no complaints yet. They might not scale to become the next Facebook, but not everything has to scale

Genuine question: Do you feel like you're learning the language/frameworks/techniques well? Or do you feel like you're just getting more adept at leveraging the LLM?

Do you think you could you maintain and/or debug someone else's application?

Not as much as I would have if I was writing everything from scratch. But then again, my goal isn’t to be a coder or get a job as a coder - I’m primarily a marketer and got into coding simply because I had a stack of ideas I wanted to experiment with

Most of the things I’ve built are fun things

See: GoUnfaked.com and PlaybookFM.com as examples

PlaybookFM.com is interesting because everything from the code to the podcasts to the logo are AI generated

How much time did you spend on getting it working especially for playbookfm?

Less than a week, tops. The hard part was the content - curating the resources for creating the podcasts
