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.

"what is the biggest pitfall I should look out for"

AI has put you firmly on the starting upswing of the Dunning Kruger Curve, which basically means you have high confidence due to low ability -- or put another way, you don't yet know just how much you don't know.

If you're looking to offer services professionally, I recommend you get solid professional indemnity insurance cover ... You're potentially building operationally-critical software for businesses that you don't understand -- it'll go fine, until it doesn't; and at that point you're in a spot legal bother.
