## Blog content (summaries)

### Vibe coding and AI builders
- **Lovable vs Bolt vs hiring a dev agency:** Lovable, Bolt, and v0 get you a prototype in hours. But 10.3% of Lovable apps ship with critical security flaws. Comparison covers when AI builders work, when they don't, and when to call in engineers.
- **You vibe-coded your MVP. Now you're stuck:** Lovable and Bolt get you to 80% fast. The last 20% (edge cases, security, integrations) is where projects die.
- **The real cost of vibe coding:** 400 credits an hour fixing AI mistakes. 30-40% of prompts go to debugging. Full cost breakdown including hours, rewrites, and security gaps.
- **AI coding assistants:** 84% of developers use AI coding tools. They ship boilerplate 30-50% faster. They also generate 2.74x more security vulnerabilities.

### MVP and startup guidance
- **7 MVP mistakes that burn through your runway:** 42% of startups fail because they built the wrong product. Seven pre-launch mistakes and how to avoid each.
- **What is an MVP and how long does it take?** Simple MVP: 2-4 weeks. Complex: 6-10. What determines timeline and what to include.
- **How to choose a tech stack for your startup:** Hiring pool and development speed matter more than the tech itself. Framework for picking tools.
- **How much does custom software cost in 2026?** Transparent breakdown from MVP to enterprise platform with real project numbers.

### Hiring and team decisions
- **Freelancer vs agency vs in-house team:** Freelancer at $50/hr, agency at $100/hr, in-house at $150K/year. Why cost per hour is the wrong metric.
- **How to evaluate and hire a software development agency:** Red flags, green flags, and the questions that separate competent agencies from budget-burners.
- **Do you need a CTO?** A full-time CTO costs $180-250K/year plus equity. A fractional CTO costs $2-5K/month.

### Architecture and technical decisions
- **REST vs GraphQL vs gRPC:** Two-thirds of teams default to REST. 40% are piloting GraphQL. gRPC owns microservices. When each wins.
- **Multi-tenant SaaS architecture:** Database-per-tenant vs shared schema vs row-level security. How to pick based on compliance, tenant count, and budget.
- **Serverless vs containers:** Serverless costs $0 at launch but gets expensive at scale. Containers cost more upfront but stay predictable.
- **Monolith to microservices:** Most startups adopt microservices too early. Most enterprises wait too long. How to know when to migrate.

### Engineering practices
- **Technical debt is killing your startup:** Engineers spend 25% of their time on code shortcuts. That's $125K/year for a five-person team.
- **CI/CD for startups:** Manual deploys work at 2 engineers, break at 5. Minimum pipeline with free tools, one-afternoon setup.
- **Software maintenance costs:** Budget 15-20% of initial build per year. A $20K app costs $3-4K annually.
- **Why software projects fail:** 66% exceed timeline or budget. Six preventable patterns.

### Comparisons and decisions
- **Offshore vs nearshore vs onshore development:** Offshore rates start at $25/hr but hidden costs (communication overhead, rework, timezone gaps) push real price to $50-75/hr. Nearshore costs $40-65/hr with better overlap. Onshore runs $100-200/hr. Savi operates from UAE, bridging East/West timezones with senior-only staffing.
- **Next.js vs Astro vs Remix:** Next.js owns 78% of React framework market share and handles full-stack SaaS. Astro ships zero JS by default, ideal for content/marketing sites. Remix excels at form-heavy apps. Savi uses Next.js for SaaS platforms (Fenado, Frootex) and Astro for content sites (DropTaxi, savibm.com).
- **Supabase vs Firebase vs custom backend:** Supabase gives you Postgres free until 500MB with row-level security. Firebase scales to millions but locks you into Google. Custom backends cost $3-8K upfront but give full control. Savi has shipped production apps on all three (FotoLabs=Firebase, ZestAMC=Supabase, DropTaxi=custom Turso).

### Planning and process
- **How to write a PRD that developers can ship from:** Practical template. No 40-page specs.
- **How to scope a software project:** Framework for defining requirements before hiring a developer.
- **Build vs Buy:** Decision framework for custom development vs off-the-shelf SaaS. Total cost of ownership analysis.
- **Technical due diligence:** 75% of investors rank digital maturity as a top-3 value driver. What most tech DD reviews miss.
