💥 The already-here future of prototyping: youtube.com/watch?v=5PfQNSxn0v

LLM tools like ChatGPT and Claude makes the question of "Should designers code?" a funny one. These tools makes creating code trivially easy. In fact, you can create a functioning prototype of an idea in the time it would take you to draw 4 rectangles in Figma. I

In the video, I wanted to show how I can take an idea kicking around in my head out into the world in just a few minutes: youtu.be/5PfQNSxn0vs?si=ESvCJy
