Field notes
What it actually takes to move AI-built software from "works in the demo" to "runs in production." Practical, opinionated, from the team that ships it.
Should you rebuild your AI-built app, or harden it?
The question every founder asks when the prototype hits its limits. Rebuilding from scratch is usually the wrong answer — here's how to tell which side of the line you're on.
Read →Why your app is fast for you and slow for everyone else
Your AI-built app flies when you're the only user and crawls the moment real traffic arrives. Here's what's actually happening under the hood — and how to fix it before your launch becomes an outage.
Read →The security holes AI leaves in your code (and how to find them)
Roughly 45% of AI-generated code ships with an OWASP Top 10 vulnerability. Here are the specific security flaws that show up again and again in vibe-coded apps — and how to check whether yours has them.
Read →You vibe-coded an MVP. Here's the wall you're about to hit.
The speed that got you to a working MVP is not the speed that takes you to a real product. A field guide to the exact point where AI-built apps break — and what to do about it.
Read →What "production-ready" actually means for an AI-built app
Your vibe-coded app looks finished. Production-ready is a different bar entirely. Here's the concrete checklist that separates a working demo from software you can put real traffic on.
