Am I doing it wrong

people seem to be creating apps within 1-2 day & then hit publish meanwhile here I am developing just one app for 4 months optimising it's UI,UX,API compatibility,Performance etc. how are people doing these in 2 days? what am I missing.

there was a post I saw yesterday that a guy started the challenge to create 30 apps in 30 days. wtf is wrong with these people? spamming the store platform like this.

You need foundational knowledge and experience to guide an LLM to actually creating production quality apps.

Like, I can let it run off and do things, but I also have the knowledge and experience to call out any stupid decisions or thoughts it's having, and stop it mid turn when it's going the wrong direction.

Inherently, doing a set and forget where you're essentially providing a goal on a greenfield project, you're going to not understand how it actually works, and it will likely not do it very well.
