My manager who vibe coded our entire webapp in claude design. Has difficulty understanding why its still not production ready.

My job is to wire to our backend data, and a lot of these wiring require me to be in there and actually think about the features. These take time, and I just haven't figure out a way to speed this process up with Claude.

TBH I think we still need to explain this to ourselves first.

My experience over many decades is this:

* If a business person thinks a change or new program is very easy to do, it is really a very hard project.

* If a business person thinks the change or new program us hard to do, usually it is a trivial project.

For me, this has been true for well over 40 years. I never use any kind AI for my work, it did not exist before I retired.

This is is relatable but I think the issue is that they are uncorrelated.

If it's easy and the business thinks it's easy it gets done. If it's hard and the business thinks it's hard it doesn't.

Typical experience with Lovable from everyone I've talked to.

Check out Synthetiq if you want to actually get into production

> "Never really finish building it" is the key insight.

The problem with software is that it is never done. There is always another feature you could have and worse than building a property the work is only done by the people on the outside.
