Ask HN: Are AI Dev Tools Ready for Production? What Limitations Are You Seeing?
I see that AI-powered development tools and services are offering significant potential for rapid prototyping and faster application development. On other the side, it comes with a range of limitations and pain points that developers and citizen developers/builders frequently encounter.
For example:
- AI hallucinations and inaccurate code generation that lead to extensive manual fixes.
- Vendor lock-in makes data and code export difficult.
- Limited customisation and rigid components restrict unique features.
- Poor debugging tools hinder complex troubleshooting.
- Scalability issues impact production-ready applications.
- Unpredictable pricing creates frustration over AI and compute costs.
- Weak collaboration and version control complicate team workflows.
Do you agree on those limitations as well?
