The point of a prototype is collaboration. It’s to get feedback from colleagues and end users.

Previously we’d whiteboard that out, spend a few days writing some code or stitching together a figma prototype to achieve a similar results.

I feel ya on the energy use, but don’t see how this is going to get me sued or isn’t allowing me to collaborate. The prototype code is going to get burned anyway, and now I my coworkers and I can pressure test ideas instantly with higher fidelity than before.
