The app went from idea to production in under a week, attracted 800 visits in three days, and cost nothing. The author reflects on how AI has lowered the barrier between idea and working product, while acknowledging that real engineering skills remain essential for scalable, secure systems. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
