I used Cline to build a tiny testing helper app and this is exactly what it did!

It made changes in TS/Next.js given just the boiletplate from create-next-app, ran `yarn dev` then opened its mini LLM browser and navigated to localhost to verify everything looked correct.

It found 1 mistake and fixed the issue then ran `yarn dev` again, opened a new browser, navigated to localhost (pointing at the original server it brought up, not the new one at another port) and confirmed the change was correct.

I was very impressed but still laughed at how it somehow backed its way into a flow the worked, but only because Next has hot-reloading.
