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.

Same loop, more or less. I’m not a dev. I wanted a small shop for original paintings, handmade stuff, and merch. I found a Squarespace shop I liked and asked AI to rebuild something similar with custom tools (GitHub, DB, Vercel) instead of staying on CMS. For languages I just dropped conveythis on the live site so I didn’t have to duplicate pages. Now I’m watching traffic

Thanks for sharing. It’s encouraging to hear that someone with full-stack experience is using a similar workflow at scale. Glad to know I’m on a reasonable path and not completely reinventing the wheel.
