On some level, you do have to have a baseline understanding of how the thing is supposed to work so that you can prompt AI in order to do it. It's no different than being a CEO and you hire an intern and you're like, hey, I want you to take this over.

So here's the first framework. When you have a seed of an idea, there's two ways of looking at this idea. And this is the first decision to make essentially for you, Greg.
