Andrew Ng shows how AI is changing software development. Instead of writing code from scratch, you can describe your idea, refine it with prompts, and let AI generate the application for you.
The biggest takeaway? Building software is becoming less about coding and more about clearly communicating what you want. Better prompts lead to better apps.
Inspired by this approach, I built a premium-looking web app using VS Code, Kombai, and GitHub. I documented the complete workflow, design process, and lessons learned in a detailed blog.
