I will review your side project and give you a comprehensive of what i think you should do next
Working on something?
Stuck somewhere, need help with something, or you don't know what to do next?
Share your project with a bit of details, which phase and problems you are facing.
I will comment back with my review.
I have been building nonstop using AI.
As I build the plans of my work and tasks.
I noticed it always gives me months, weeks in estimations. Claiming that it will be done around that time. It doesn't even know how to estimate..
However, usually it is done in a few days...
Has anyone faced this, too?
AI is confused cause it is trying to mimic human capabilities.
I noticed this first in myself so I'm trying to see If you're facing it too...
Back in the day, I had to first plan things, do the
- wireframes, test them, improve
- audit the IA flow (information architecture)
- map the user journey then test again
- real band building
- extract the design system
- plan my component system and make sure it is modular
- build the component system
- build one page at a time, finish then test it
Today? Few prompts. Done.
I feel like I'm getting dumber and lazy overtime.
My muscle memory is no longer the same. I'm at fault cause I could've simply constrain it from the start, however as we're all racing to deliver faster sometimes we just forget and things just start slipping bit by bit.
You assume that it got it right, or you have your system in place then you realize as you're building (vibe-coding) your app, you are not getting your results, and you end burning tokens for no reason and you get nowhere.
The AI slop is slapping you with each output. I have personally degraded in my skills, that is my fault but now I literally do not start any code until all of my laws in place and this has put me back to where I was in terms of production quality.
Just imagine people that have 0 experience in IA, branding, ux, ui, and code?
The results would be terrifying I would assume.
What about you? Faced the same issue?
