Shipping AI Features That Don’t Break in Production
summary
AI cuts prototype time from ~6 months to ~2 months for the indie apps but introduces architecture drift, UI inconsistency, and debugging nightmares in both indie and enterprise codebases; observable numbers: faster feature delivery yet more review and ownership work. Recommends concrete fixes: constrain generation with MVVM and package rules, build a design system core UI before features, require AI to explain choices and produce tests that focus on behavior. Worth watching if shipping Android AI features into production.
