## AI overview

The author describes moving from Figma mockups and specification documents toward building and iterating on prototype features directly in the codebase with Claude. They report that this workflow helps them explore designs, test functionality, and refine user-facing details, especially when working with unfamiliar technologies such as OCaml and Bonsai.

## Source excerpt

For a long time I was skeptical of LLMs--whenever I reached for them I was disappointed by the results. Last year I tried Copilot and Cursor to tweak a game I'd built, and neither generated working changes. At a previous job I tried Gemini to outline product briefs and generate wireframes, but ended up throwing them all away. Every time I tried LLMs it was for something I was already good at, and they did a worse job than I would have.
