## Description

We've all heard stories about how people are using AI to create entire software projects, and in every case, I had nothing but skepticism and doubt.

Until I tried it.

Let me show you how I build collectyourcards.com, from the ground up, in less than two weeks, without writing a single line of code.  We will talk about effective prompting, toolsets, and the do's and don'ts of coding with AI.
