I started with a pretty simple prompt: "I am building an app using Expo, React Native, React Navigation, React Query, Nativebase, Google Maps and lodash. Expo exports the app for web, iOS and Android. The purpose of the app is to view data related to <specific domain> on a map. The data comes from an internal API."

And then just started asking it questions about each task I was trying to complete. Often I say, "Here is my code in MyComponent.jsx: <paste code> I want to implement <describe feature>. How can I do that?" and GPT will usually respond with tutorial-like steps to take, or sometimes just with the code for a function it thinks I should implement. I read what it suggests, paste it, modify it if necessary, try it out, adjust and repeat.
