I've managed to use ChatGPT to write a small app in Kotlin, and later used Cursor to fix some issues around performance. Personally I'm not a finish-it kind of guy unless I'm getting paid for it.

To be fair, I'm not sure the quality of the code is much worse than all the boatloads of crapware in all the app stores out there.

I suspect that the reason "revolutionary products" and "blazing fast iteration" isn't blowing our minds is because the problem was never the code - it was always the people around it, who know better than their customers. The best way to make good software is to test it on real people and iterate - that's going to take a long time no matter how fast the coding part is.
