I suggest actually using Claude code and make a sample app using it. It absolutely can make apps even if you don’t know any fundamentals. I think it can work up to 20k LOC from my experience. You do need a human to give feedback but not someone who understands software principles.

That's a one-shot, though. Now try making something you want to build on. It falls apart very, very quickly.

Not to mention that these prototypes and samples all turn out more or less the same. Obviously, given how LLMs work. Like LLM prose, LLM-generated web apps have a distinctive, samey look and feel.
