Just because you can build anything in a week doesn't mean you should. Most vibe-coded projects die in the "nice-to-have" trap, over-engineering AI solutions for simple problems that users simply will not pay for. The fix is pivoting away from generalist tools and focusing on boring, compliance-heavy, high-friction workflows.

This episode breaks down the exact tooling and architecture required to execute a reliable weekend MVP:

• The IDE Wars: We compare the big three. Use Cursor for high-speed, greenfield UI scaffolding. Use Claude Code for deep reasoning and zero-error complex refactors across massive context windows.
• The Golden Stack: Don't fight the AI. We map out the path of least resistance: Next.js with Shadcn UI, Supabase for rigid SQL structure (which AI loves), and Vercel for depl ...
