This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Ammaar Reshi, a design manager at Brex. It has been edited for length and clarity.I still tell friends, though, that if you let me code it'll be a complete hazard. I went to college in the UK, where computer science is a rigorous yet very theoretical degree. You aren't taught many practical skills.
I've toyed with no-code tools in the past like Webflow and Framer, that are mostly for building websites, but I felt they weren't that advanced.. The technology is next-level. The first game I built was a snake game, which is a sort of classic arcade game. It took me less than 20 minutes and just five prompts to build the game. Here is a closer look at the final product.Then, over a weekend, I built a more complex game that I would describe as a"3-D space runner.
The experience definitely isn't perfect. Coding with GPT-4 sort feels like talking to someone who's only half-listening to you. It was significantly more complicated, so I expected that it would take me longer to complete. I didn't expect it to take me an entire weekend.
