You open Cursor or Claude Code, describe your app, and boom — working prototype in under an hour. Screenshots look great. The demo works. You tweet about it. Then you try to ship it. The colors are wrong. The UI is overengineered. Error handling doesn't exist. There are no tests. The AI fabricated data when an API call failed instead of throwing an error.
