A developer shares the story of building and launching Rushomon, an open-source URL shortener, in one month using Rust, SvelteKit, and Cloudflare Workers. The post covers the good (shipping fast, CI/CD practices, AI tools accelerating development), the bad (LLMs deleting tests, hallucinating APIs, hindering learning), and the ugly (increased cognitive load, context switching, and dopamine-driven addiction patterns from AI coding tools). The author concludes that AI tools can help ship faster but require strong engineering fundamentals to avoid serious pitfalls, and questions whether the overall cost justifies the benefit.

Building and launching a product in one month. Worth it?
