I was recently asked to make a small Android app using flutter, which I had never touched before

I used chatgpt at first and it was so painful to get correct answers, but then made an agent or whatever it's called where I gave it instructions saying it was a flutter Dev and gave it a bunch of specifics about what I was working on

Suddenly it became really useful..I could throw it chunks of code and it would just straight away tell me where the error was and what I needed to change

I could ask it to write me an example method for something that I could then easily adapt for my use

One thing I would do would be ask it to write a method to do X, while I was writing the part that would use that method.

This wasn't a big project and the whole thing took less than 40 hours, but for me to pick up a new language, setup the development environment, and make a working app for a specific task in 40 hours was a huge deal to me... I think without chatgpt, just learning all the basics and debugging would have taken more than 40 hours alone
