The chat log is very helpful.

> I think I spent close to a good twelve hours (including a couple of early throw-away prototypes, and all the failed attempts on the flood filling) altogether2… at some point it did get a little addictive, and perhaps there was a sunk cost argument for not letting go halfway through.

Also very helpful, I get the sense that we're seeing lots of cherrypicked results that under report all the toil needed to get to the magic prompt that made it all work. Maybe we'll all get better at prompt engineering, but I think a lot of hype is based on that misunderstanding.

Thank you! Indeed, it’s still a fair amount of back and forth, and would have probably been even more frustrating if I didn’t know anything at all about HTML/CSS/JS. I think it’s been pointed out in other contexts that the AI tools can be substantial boost on top of some elementary code literacy, but it will still involve effort (both on the prompt engineering as well as verification and subsequent nudging).

All that said, the experience still felt empowering… in particular, I am not sure that I’d be able to pull this off on my own in a comparable — or even, say, double — the amount of time. So that’s a win overall, I suppose!

Also glad you found the logs useful. Thanks again for taking a look :)
