If you were hiring an AI-led mobile app development company, what stages would you still expect humans to handle carefully?
Architecture?
Security?
Scalability?
QA?
Product thinking?
Compliance?
Post-launch optimization?
Cuz it feels like the industry is shifting from “can you build it?” to “can you make it production-ready?”
Noticing a pattern with AI-led dev sprints.
Day 1–3 feel insanely fast. You build more than usual, things actually work, and it feels like a breakthrough.
Then around Day 5… it slows down hard.
Bugs start popping up, small changes take longer, and you spend more time fixing than building.
Feels less like an AI issue and more like a process problem, like weak system design, inconsistent prompts, no proper validation, and unclear roles.
Curious if others have hit this wall?
What broke first for you and how did you fix it?
Getting users in feels easier than ever with all the tools out there, but keeping them is a different story.
