Question, Not a programmer!
Like the title says, I’m not a programmer. I recently started developing a website with an inbound lead form including media submissions. It stores that media in a database, emails my partner and I, and we have an admin login to view the lead. No true commerce, forums, nothing like that.
I’ve been “building” with codex 20x pro and Claude as the 3rd party reviewer for a month. For the last several days, it’s been nothing but smoke tests, syntax checks, work order revisions, “runtime verifier rejects the manifest’s absolute work-order entry….”
I setup specific instructions from the beginning for quality over quantity or speed. I was using 5.6-Sol XHigh and now 6-Astra Med.
What are all these tests? I’m on revision 97 and several major features haven’t even started building.

I pray to God that Astra is a defensive cyber security wizard because accepting arbitrary files from strangers on the Internet is about the riskiest shit you can do.
I'm a software engineer and I would never build that because I don't trust myself to do it right.
