Last time I talked about the four walls between building fast with AI and actually shipping. Today, the one that breaks the most people — review and policy. The code is finished, and this is where you stay stuck for weeks.

Review doesn't check "does it work"

I had this backwards at first too. Figured if the app ran fine, it'd pass review. Nope. Review isn't asking "does this work," it's asking "which policies does this app have to follow?"

So no matter how perfect the code is, if the policies that should come with it aren't in place, you're blocked. AI writes brilliant code, but it doesn't handle the things that tag along with that code.

The fun part: every feature summons a different check
