Having embraced the challenges of AI code for the non-engineer, I knew that I needed real people to help me understand this situation.
Over the past 10 years I’ve had the opportunity to know the team at Alpinist Studios. John Chhetri, their CEO, then became a great resource in getting some feedback on my project.
My goal for our engagement was to get real life feedback from a team that’s coded hundreds of projects over the years and developed product for small business all the way up to the Fortune Global 500. My ask was simple. Review my project (all of the code is made readily available by Replit) and tell me where it has faults. Imagine that you are going to release this to the wild and let me know where it’s going to have challenges.
The team has since provided me a much more detailed audit but here are the initial findings of my work.
In short, the app lacked adequate security, was limited on scalability, and left a lot of open doors for abuse by the so inclined.
What I needed next was to take this concept, let the engineers go wild, and see what kind of effort it would take to get the app ready for battle testing.
