I've been a dev for 20 years. I recently watched a YT video of a non-developer putting together an iOS app, from scratch, using Cursor Composer. I can't vouch for the legitimacy of his claim at not being a dev, but some of the language used to describe things definitely suggested they were not.
Anyway, it was pretty impressive. I decided, having never used Swift and having never built a 2D iOS game, to give it a go myself. In just a couple of evenings, I have a playable prototype that I confidently say would've taken me weeks to get to on my own.
And I'm learning Swift. Reading open-source projects or Swift tutorials is one thing , but seeing code written to satisfy a prompt request - that provides an entirely different level of early comprehension.
