Not OP but other than what core functionality they can demo to investors, every AI company seems to have extremely lacking:

- web design (basic features take years to implement, and when done break the website on mobile)

- UI/UX patterns (cookie cutter component library elements forced into every interface without any tailoring to suit how the product is actually used, also makes a Series C venture indistinguishable from something setup in a weekend)

- backend design (turns out they've been hemorrhaging money on serverless Vercel function calling instead of using Lambda and spending a minute implementing caching for repeat requests)

- developer docs (even when crucial to business model, often seems AI generated, incomplete, incoherent)

And this usually comes from hiring much less developers than is needed, and those that are hired are 10x Cursor/GPT developers which trust it to have done a comprehensive job at what seems like a functional interface on the surface, and have little frame of reference or training for what constitutes good design in any of these aspects.

I was the guy trolling, downvote me.

Don’t downvote the person who submitted a substantial comment far more valuable than it’s GP.

Oh but why can't the AI do basic backend programming anymore? /s
