Unless the app is released and running on user’s device, your “it works” is on the level of hackathon’s demo. Being on prod has always been the true testing ground of code.

It seems like when people are talking about production level quality and how the AI. should be helping them there, plenty of people comes up with their “it works on my machine” anecdotes.

I use the app every day and I am confident in the quality.

I will launch it by the end of August. After ~4 months of hard work.

If it’s 4 months of hard work, then it’s not like you’re blindly doing it as the top commenter mentioned.

That is true, I was mostly speaking about a supposed need to review the code.

My effort instead goes to manual QA testing, providing feedback and preferences, and asking questions.

The limitation here is mostly that the model does not know what looks and feels good.

With improvements to the vision capabilities and a better understanding of motion, or what looks appealing to humans, the implementation could probably happen much more autonomously.

		> That is true, I was mostly speaking about a supposed need to review the code. Until you go to prod, you can believe a lot of things about the state of your code. Reviewing code is not merely about “Does this things work”. Testing and linting do cover most of that. Reviewing is mostly about: Will this design cover the current set of constraints (some may be conformance) and can it evolve? Are the assumptions correct? Is the security layer good enough?… The user interface part of the code is only one single component out of many.

Honestly, things have really changed in the past 6 months. Opus 4.5 got most of the way there, and Fable can now literally one-shot your run off the mill CRUD app.

I use a few of them daily. While there are still bugs, there are significantly less than there used to be back when everything was being maintained in my spare time.

Still not Netflix/Google standard yet, but definitely better than the average side project or pre-AI Bangalore special.
