Dev: AI lets me prototype in an afternoon to find out which ideas were bad
remilouf · x · 2026-09-27
Developer remilouf describes how AI changed his idea-validation workflow: he always had more ideas than time, but now he can build a prototype in an afternoon and quickly find out it was a bad idea.
His key principle: never let AI-generated slop touch good ideas — discard the prototype once validated and start over with clean code.
