Couldn’t agree more with this sentiment. Bootstrapping leaning AI-first means I can iterate a few arch designs and actually test it, stress it, and rip it out if needed, within a few hours.

The technical debt problem is real, but as long as after a large session across 10-12 repos over a couple days, I can do a sweep for loose ends and kill dead code that we had for an old implementation. It’s less about building a piece, and more like building version 1 of a feature and then building version 2 a week later instead of 6 months later.
