RAD before transformers was like trying to build an iPhone before capacitive multitouch: a total waste of time.

Things are different now.

I'm not so sure. What can you show me that you think would be convincing?

I think there are enough examples of genuine AI-facilitated rapid application development out there already, honestly. I wouldn't have anything to add to the pile, since I'm not a RAD kind of guy.

Disillusionment seems to spring from expecting the model to be a god or a genie instead of a code generator. Some people are always going to be better at using tools than other people are. I don't see that changing, even though the tools themselves are changing radically.

That's a straw man. Asking for real examples to back up your claims isn't overt perfectionism.

If you weren't paying attention to what's been happening for the last couple of years, you certainly won't believe anything I have to say.

Trust me on this, at least: I don't need the typing practice.

"Nothing" would have been shorter and more convenient for us both.
