AI Made Me 10x Faster. Testing Became The Bottleneck.

One thing I've noticed over the last year:

AI dramatically increased my development speed, but it didn't increase my testing speed.

As a solo founder, I'm currently building:

  • a web application
  • a macOS app
  • a Windows app
  • an iOS app

I'm also handling infrastructure, deployments, and constantly improving the landing page.

With AI agents, I can build features much faster than before. Sometimes it honestly feels like having a small engineering team.

I still review the code myself to catch architectural mistakes and questionable decisions, but implementation is no longer the bottleneck.

Testing is.

The faster I build, the bigger the testing backlog becomes.

I can either:

  • slow development down and spend more time testing
  • or keep shipping and risk missing bugs

It feels like AI solved one bottleneck and exposed another.

Are other founders seeing the same thing?

How are you handling testing?

  • Manual testing?
  • External QA?
  • Automated end-to-end tests?
  • AI testing tools?

Would love to hear what actually works in practice.
