Am working on an iPhone app and impressed with how well Claude is able to generate decent/working code with prompts in plain English. I don’t have previous experience in building apps or swift but have a C++ background. Working in smaller chunks and incrementally adding features rather than a large prompt for the whole app seems more practical, is easier to review and build confidence.
Adding/prompting features one by one, reviewing code and then testing the resulting binary feels like the new programming workflow
Funny story…I used to whistle and imitate birds calls. Some of them used to go along and keep making the same sound along with me (more like I was making the same sound as them). Very few others, after repeating a few times, popped on me. Happened enough times for it to not be a coincidence

Prompt/REview/Test - PRET.
