As someone who isn't an engineer but shipped a real product this year by leaning on AI tooling, the thing that surprised me most wasn't building the features — it was everything around them: payments, auth, not breaking prod, knowing when the output was subtly wrong. The "build" got cheap; the judgment didn't. Curious how you handle that last part for non-technical users.

The basic build was never that expensive; the complications are always where the time goes.
