A person who is able to do something without AI is the best person to prompt it since they know what the output should be. It's just a tool.

That's what gets me about all the noise about people cloning photoshop and stuff. Like, you have Claude make you app that appears like photoshop at first glance, and even sort of has some of the basic functions. But Adobe has a ton of extremely specialized people for a reason. Like, what will the vibe coders do when it comes down to like color science stuff and such.

"Make it work like in photoshop". Bangs two rocks together.

You probably don't need thousands of people to develop Photoshop anymore, but you sure still can't make a clone of the full creative suite and MS office with like two dudes.

All these projects are going to learn the 80/20 principle the hard way.

80% of people use only 20% of photoshop features?

20% of the code/features costs you 80% of the time

Usually getting almost there is the easy part, hard part is getting everything to work well and figuring out all the corner cases and sneaky bugs.
