They had these pieces of clear plastic that had holes cut for all these symbols. Stuff like squares, rectangles and circles you could trace. So you built everything, form fields, yes/no trees out on paper before you started even writing code.
We are going backward to go forward. If you can feed ChatGPT a photograph to write the actual code isn't this the future of programming?

#6If you are interested in this, you might be interested in the code-based BI tool I'm working on, Evidence (https://github.com/evidence-dev/evidence)
The experience is a bit more: Start writing code -> GitHub copilot autocompletes -> Dashboard

That's flowcharting, not quite the same as sketching out a user interface.
