I have always wondered if you REALLY could use LLM systems like chatgpt and deepseek to "generate" a complete website/app. I'd got an idea for a small side-project, so I decided to see if I can do it without coding myself (too much) and let most of the work be done by AI's. The outcome: maybe doable, but i wouldn't fire my whole development team just yet.

I was surprised with the actual code that was generated (symfony7), and even though it sometimes got things completely wrong, i found that with some nudges in the right direction, it ultimately could figure things out well enough for me to incorporate. Although, without any (deep) knowledge of what I'm wanting to do, or symfony knowledge, i would not have been able to create this project.

So about the project: Suppose you lost your phone. How would you cope with this situation? What is your laptop failed to start up? Would you have backups? Have you tried to restore them? Do you have a plan on how to get back up and running quickly?

There are a lot of things that can (and will) go wrong when it comes to computers, life, work, holiday and cats. This project will send you when you least expect it a disaster drill with a scenario to see how well prepared you are. It contains tips and tricks and you can score yourself and match against others on your preparedness level.
