Who this is for
If you shipped something with Lovable, Replit, Cursor or v0 and it now has to survive real users — these posts are for you. We write the checks we actually run in an audit, from engineers who spent 12+ years on production systems at Fortune 500 companies: real failure modes, real trade-offs, no agency-speak hedging.
What you won't find here:
- “10 reasons you need a website” listicle bait.
- Generic “trends to watch in 2026” predictions written by someone who hasn't shipped anything in five years.
- Disguised sales pitches dressed up as guides.
