Nowadays the AI is dramatically improved product visual creation, but every workflow still seems to have one step that takes more time than expected. For me, maintaining consistency across a growing catalog and creating multiple variations still requires careful review.

I'm curious how others approach it:

• What's your current workflow that gives a better result?

• Do you still rely on manual refinements?

Spent most of a day debugging a fix that turned out to have never shipped. The build compiled clean, the app launched, the screen looked right, and the code I had just changed simply was not running.

Root cause was a stale build cache. I had moved a widget between files, and the toolchain kept serving the old compiled output instead of rebuilding it. No error, no warning, exit code 0. The binary running on the device just was not the one on disk.

Are you totally against sharing your personal data to companies? or are you neutral and think your info doesn't matter that much? Not just words from dictation apps, but other personal details like schedules from a productivity app, or computer details from coding agents. Asking this cause I personally don't mind my app data being sent to companies, as long as they're not passwords, or important personal info. But this brings us to another question, where is the line?
