Why AI-generated websites break in production (and how to prevent it)
Mon Jan 26 2026
AI tools like Claude Code, v0, and Bolt are changing how websites get built. They're faster and cheaper than traditional development, which sounds perfect for marketing directors managing multiple web properties. But here's the problem: the speed you gain in development doesn't automatically translate into reliability in production.
In this solo episode, Mitchell walks through six real production issues with AI-generated websites, from security vulnerabilities that demand immediate attention to code bloat that creates unnecessary risk. If you're responsible for business-critical websites and your team is using AI development tools, this episode explains what to watch for and why having an experienced developer who understands the code matters more than ever. The bottom line? AI is an excellent tool, but the person who knows which tool to use and how to use it still makes all the difference.
