In this session.
AI tools can take a founder from idea to working app in a weekend, but most of those apps never make it to production. In this Designli Academy session we look at why: features nobody asked for, code nobody can safely change, credentials left in the open and no tests to catch what breaks. Then we cover when and how to move off a vibe-coding platform, and why the founders who win with AI are the ones testing hypotheses, not shipping the most features.
