i spent three weeks staring at a 5-page notion document trying to craft the exact perfect prompt for a basic crud app. the irony's painful. we all thought cursor and claude would let us skip the boring part and just ship. instead, we're stuck in this weird new perfectionism trap. we're writing endless product requirements just so the ai doesn't hallucinate a weird button on the second screen. we should just throw a sloppy one-liner at the ai, let it build a garbage version in ten seconds, and fix the bugs on the fly. my garbage version was a habit tracker that took 12 seconds to generate and 20 minutes to debug into something usable. planning mode's dead, but we're still trying to revive it because clicking 'generate' on a totally blank canvas is scary. just build the trash version and move on. here's a screenshot of that 12-second mess: imgur.com/habit-tracker-trash   submitted by   /u/Full_Collar9026 [link]   [comments]
