Gut-feeling driven development sounds appealing in theory, but here's the reality: brilliant ideas mean nothing without solid execution. And when execution rides entirely on intuition? You get garbage code that nobody wants to maintain.

Sure, maybe it flies for V1 prototypes or quick MVPs—throwing things at the wall has its place early on. But scale beyond that and the problems pile up fast. We're talking shoddy architecture decisions that haunt you later, half-baked strategies with no real foundation, security vulnerabilities nobody caught because there was no proper framework to begin with. And saying this doesn't require a CS degree to notice.

Intuitive development? Uh... that's just gambling. In the end, you still have to fix the holes. It's okay to boast during the MVP stage, but when it comes to deploying to production? No one wants to take over a poorly designed architecture. The most annoying thing is this "gut feeling" approach; technical debt piling up will eventually explode. It's understandable to want rapid iteration, but you can't use that as an excuse to neglect infrastructure. Honestly, a good code architecture can save you a lot of trouble later on... Isn't that obvious?

Intuitive development? That's just digging your own grave to meet the deadline. ### Rapid iteration is indeed satisfying, but you'll have to pay the debt later. ### Cutting corners during the MVP stage, and the maintainers will cry their eyes out later. ### Code without a framework is just a ticking time bomb. ### That's why many projects ultimately fall into maintenance hell. ### No matter how brilliant the idea, if execution is poor, it's all for nothing. ### Early testing is okay, but don't push garbage code into production. ### Poor architecture will cause major rework and setbacks later. ### Security vulnerabilities are the most terrifying; intuitive development can't detect them at all. ### Basically, it's laziness in planning, and later forced overtime to patch the holes. ### It's okay to fudge during the prototype phase, but productization requires seriousness. ###

Intuition is a luxury, scale is reality. Bad code will come back to bite you. --- You can come with an MVP anytime, but when it’s time to scale, you’ll have to pay off the debt. --- Honestly, code without a framework is a ticking time bomb, it will explode sooner or later. --- Want to write code based on intuition? Sure, anyway, you’re not the one maintaining it. --- Architecture, if you slack off early, will cost you dearly later. --- Security vulnerabilities are created this way; no one cares until something happens. --- Prototypes can be casual, but when going to production, you must be serious. Everyone understands this. --- It’s not just about strategy; that’s the real flaw. --- Code debt must be paid off in the end, so build a framework early.

Intuitive development is like laying mines for the future; you'll regret it only after the audit report comes down. --- Quick MVP validation is fine, but it can't be used as an excuse to keep slacking off. When the architecture is poor, the cost of fixing it later doubles. --- Basically, it's the precursor to reentrancy attacks—if the security framework isn't properly set up early on, all sorts of bugs can sneak in later. --- The most frightening thing about garbage code isn't just the code itself, but that it can survive for a long time and poison the entire ecosystem. --- No audit, no standards, coding by feel? What's the difference from contracts without overflow checks? Trouble is bound to happen sooner or later. --- Once the scale grows, the flaws are exposed, and at that point, there's no way to fix them—you're stuck with it.
