I’m building a meal planner for tired parents — I’m one of them, and I use it every week to figure out what we’re eating. One human. No budget. Limited evening time. Every task — defining what to build, planning how to build it, building it, telling people it exists — is mine. Everything is serial, and there’s no one to hand a ticket to or give me a review.

For a while I’ve been “experimenting” with AI-assisted development; which meant opening a chat window, describing what I wanted, and hoping for the best. This is about what I built to make it more reliable than that — and how every fix turned out to be something good engineering teams already do.
