It’s hardly the first time someone has shipped an app within a year of starting to code. It’s impressive, but not revolutionary.

I also wonder what the person would have been hired for... maybe QA? I was doing this with random relevant scripts nearly 20 years ago but wasn't given a job where code would be relevant for the task until loooooong after I could comprehend what I was doing

Nono, he has shipped an app before learning to code.

The fact that he liked and enjoyed coding was what actually prompted him into learning to code after that first experience.

So he’s a naturally talented developer who learned to code as he created his first app. Maybe he didn’t understand specifics, but you have to be able to intuit a lot to string a bunch of AI snippets into an app.
