The worst thing is that it does get users and momentum, but the app fails miserably: it slows down, becomes unresponsive, or loses data. Then you start running around like crazy, looking for a professional developer to help you out, but you hear budgets and deadlines that make the whole project unfeasible. So just when you thought you had won at life, suddenly everything is taken away from you! I've been approached by people in this situation, and trust me, you definitely don't want to go there.

I'm giving you exact lines that you can tell your AI assistant, whether it's Codex, OpenClaw, Claude, or whatever else—and these lines will prevent this worst-case scenario. I'm also explaining the why behind the how in simple terms, so your overall understanding of app development deepens.
