Everything long-form we have written about AI-built apps, in one place. Written by the engineer who does the work, not by marketing. No signup, no gate; the read times are computed from the text, so they are honest.
Start with what
breaks.
What breaks when AI builds your app
The six places AI-generated code fails in production — auth, payments, architecture, performance, observability — why it happens, and how to check your own app.
Why your AI-built app looks unfinished
Eight visual tells that make a working app read as amateur — spacing, type, alignment, colour, responsive layout, missing states, accessibility, translation — why AI tools and rushed builds produce them, and what is usually wrong in the code underneath.
Before You Ship Your Lovable or Replit App: What to Check First
A pre-launch walkthrough for Lovable and Replit apps: what changes between the demo and production, mapped to the first 30 days of real traffic.
Is My AI-Built App Production-Ready? A 10-Point Checklist
A 10-point self-assessment to find out whether your AI-built app is production-ready before real users hit it. Concrete checks, no jargon.
The Security Holes AI Coding Tools Leave in Your Auth
The recurring auth security holes in AI-generated code from Lovable, Cursor, Bolt, and v0 — why they happen, and how to check your own app.
