⚡ Key Takeaways

  • AI builders excel at iteration but trap you in proprietary infra—migrate early to own your app. 𝕏
  • Export code lacks production essentials: CI/CD, rollbacks, portable DBs—rebuild data layers often needed. 𝕏
  • Tools like Nometria enable clean deploys with Git sync; pattern is build fast, ship owned. 𝕏
