Right. With careful use of AIs, I can use it to gather information to help me make better designs (like giving me summaries of the current best available frameworks or libraries to choose for a given project), but as far as just generating an architecture and then generating the code and devops and so on for that? It's just not there, unless you're creating an app that effectively already exists, like some basic CRUD app.

If you're creating basic CRUDs, what on earth are you doing? That kind of thing should have been automated a long time ago.

What do you mean when you say building crud apps should be automated?

CRUD apps are ridiculously simple and have been in existence my entire life. Yet it is surprisingly difficult to make a basic CRUD and host it somewhere. The bulk of useful but simple business apps are just a CRUD with a tiny bit of customisation and integration around them.

It is true that LLMs make it easier to build these kind of things without having to become a competent programmer first.

I don't know what kind of CRUD apps you work on. The kind of CRUD apps people pay me to work on are not simple.

E.g using Rails and generate scaffolding. Makes it real fast and easy to make a CRUD app.

conventionally, it should have been abstracted by a higher-level language.
