Why AI Projects Collapse After Version One
Apr 15, 2026
Many teams successfully build a first version of an AI-assisted project โ€” and then watch it slowly fall apart. The code works, the demo looks great, and then something shifts: the architecture drifts, changes break unexpected things, and the system becomes impossible to extend. This episode explores why Version 1 success is actually a dangerous moment, and what experienced builders do differently to ensure a project survives its own momentum.
