Building an app with AI feels easy - until real users arrive. I shipped an MVP in 6 days using Claude Code, but "clean" AI code hid major performance pitfalls.

Ever opened code that feels like ancient hieroglyphics? You’ve likely encountered primitive obsession or premature generalization. But don’t worry - there’s a way out!
