When to Rebuild an AI-Generated App and When Hardening Is the Smarter Money
A plain-English decision guide for choosing between cleaning up an AI-built app, rebuilding part of it, or starting over.
What you will learn
- Messy code alone is not enough reason to rebuild an AI-generated app.
- Hardening is usually the right first move when the structure is sound and the gaps are mostly security, resilience, and process-related.
- A rebuild should be justified by architecture and roadmap constraints, not by aesthetics or developer preference.
