I think AI coding made it too easy for me to keep changing my app
A developer shared their experience with AI coding tools, noting that while Replit was excellent for initial development, moving to GitHub/local + Codex offered more control. They questioned if AI made iteration faster or led to overbuilding and constant, unnecessary changes. The developer expressed concern that AI might make it too easy to continuously alter an application, even when it was already functional, potentially hindering the focus on user acquisition.
This developer's account highlights a potential downside of AI coding tools, unlike typical reports focusing solely on efficiency gains, by questioning if they encourage overbuilding rather than faster iteration.
