Story · dev.to · stat: —

Developer Suzanne Nhyira is building PowerPulse, a crowd-sourced electricity outage tracker for Ghana. Leaning heavily on AI for coding assistance, the project hit a wall with complex Next.js and CSS configuration bugs, highlighting the risks of building on frameworks without deep underlying knowledge of their structure.

The new dev bottleneck: debugging AI-generated framework code. AI-assisted scaffolding creates deep technical debt without matching framework expertise.
