"One-prompting" a full SaaS application using AI is a great party trick.
It's also the fastest way to build a codebase that breaks the second you get 100 concurrent users.
Here is the dirty secret about AI-generated codebases:
They ignore database indexing.
They execute N+1 queries everywhere.
They bundle massive, redundant libraries.
They wrap basic business logic in unmaintainable loops.
AI gives you speed at $0 ARR. It gives you a massive refactoring bill at $10k ARR.
Speed is useless if your database chokes on the first payment webhooks. Build fast, but don't skip software architecture.
What's the messiest AI-generated code snippet you've had to rewrite recently?
