I completely get the fatigue. We’re seeing a lot of "one-shot" projects right now that look great for a week and then die because there was no actual design behind the prompt.

For SnackBase, I actually spent the majority of my time on the architecture and compliance logic rather than just generating boilerplate.

Compliance Core> Getting the immutable hash-chain for audit logs to work correctly with async SQLAlchemy while ensuring it doesn't kill database performance is something I had to iterate on manually. AI is great at writing a function, but it's notoriously bad at keeping a consistent "Clean Architecture" across hundreds of files without a human steering the ship.

Custom DSL> I built the DSL specifically to solve the maintenance problem you mentioned. It acts as a single source of truth for the DB, API, and UI. This makes the project much easier to maintain long-term because you aren't manually updating three different layers every time a schema changes.

I built this because I actually need it for my work in Life sciences domain. My goal isn't a blast of commits but a rock-solid foundation that can survive a GxP audit.
