> it's basically "build a [tiny] product to specs", in a series of steps
That seems like exactly what the person you're replying to is saying - that sounds like basic standard product-engineering stuff, but simpler, like any of a million examples out there that an LLM has seen a million times. "Here's a problem LLMs are good at, wow, the people using the LLMs do best at it." Tautolgy.
So it's great for finding people who can use an LLM to do tiny product things.
In the same way takehomes had all the same limitations. More power to you if those are the people you are looking for, though.
But it also sounds like a process that most people with better options are gonna pass on most of the time. (Also like with takehomes.)
