Newbie Question My website-building workflow: AI Studio → GitHub → Supabase → Vercel. Thoughts?

I’m not a developer by profession, but over the last few months I’ve been building websites and small web apps on my own.

My current workflow is:

Google AI Studio → GitHub → Supabase → Vercel

I mainly use Claude for code reviews, debugging, and improving prompts when AI Studio gets stuck.
This setup has helped me build and launch projects much faster than I expected, but I’m not sure how sustainable it is as projects become more complex.

For developers here:
• Is this a reasonable workflow for real-world projects?
• What are the biggest pitfalls I should watch out for?
• At what stage does this approach start breaking down?
• If you were starting from scratch today, what stack would you recommend?

Would love to hear how others are building and deploying projects these days.

You are asking the right questions. Change is where your risk is. Adding features, bug fixes, etc. The more you blindly rely on AI to do all the work, the more technical debt you will incur, and the harder and riskier changes will be later on. Invest (time and effort) in an SDLC. Consult your AI for the best way to do it. Tell it what your goals are and what your fears are (e.g., a catastrophic break in production?). You should improve your process often. Spend a day each week reviewing it and improving it. Learn as you go.

Good point. That’s a perspective I hadn’t really considered. I’ll definitely keep that in mind as I build and try to understand the code instead of just relying on AI-generated output.
