In the company I’m at this is beginning to happen. PM’s want to “prototype” new features and expect the engineers to finish up the work. With the expectation that it ‘just needs some polishing’. What would be your recommendation on how to handle this constructively? Flat out rejecting LLM as a prototyping tool is not an option.
This could be workable with the understanding that throwing away 100% of the prototype code is acceptable and it’s primary purpose is as a communication tool, not a technical starting point.
This is how I've handled it so far. But that is probably because the PM that does this for me knew going in that they were not going to be generating something I'd want to become responsible for polishing and maintaining. It's basically just a fancier way of doing what they would otherwise use SketchUp for.
