Is it worth the work making the "fake" version though? By the amount of work that went into this pixel perfect prototype and the amount of "rework" it would be needed to implement it, shouldn't it be easier to prototype as app with a programmer from the get go? Or at least make a less detailed prototype (the usual)?

BTW, I'm not bashing, really good article.

Hi, OP here. Thanks!

This method is actually pretty quick but it is very throw away. It doesn't replace more dynamic prototypes you might make at other stages. This is designed more for making something real that you might have only previously played out in your head.

I usually do this right along side Photoshop (copy paste).
