Hi, I'm the author of the blog post. I didn't have any concerns about it doing things I didn't intend, because I was careful to review the diffs every time it made a change. There's a lot of hype about no-code AI app generators, and while that may work well some day, for now, I believe that these tools are most useful for maximizing the output of an experienced engineer who can understand the code being written by the model.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm a decent enough programmer and have noticed weird, unnecessary code sometimes being added along the way as I've worked with AI during coding, so I was curious if you had any concerns about leaning on a tool that has the ability to write code that you might not understand. Sounds like you do not have that concern, and I'm glad it worked for you.
