GoBananas: I built a platform around the 2 vibe coding problems that were stalling my builds

I've been deep in vibe coding for a while now...building GoBananas, an AI-native dev platform, mostly solo. Every time I hit a wall I try to build the solution into the platform so other builders don't have to.

These are two problems that if you go hard enough long enough I guarantee you'll hit eventually.

1. Early victory

This used to drive me crazy...agent works for 10-15 minutes and tells me it's done and I look under the hood and it's just stubs. OR worse it says "I did about 60% that should be good enough for you." No matter how hard I prompted I couldn't get it to move past this behavior.

Eventually I came to the realization that I needed a continuation system built into the architecture - something that evaluates real progress, detects when the agent is coasting versus when it's genuinely finished, and keeps it working autonomously until the work is actually done.

GoBananas handles this so you don't have to think about it. But if you're building your own agent setup...this has to be a design decision, not an afterthought.

2. Your agent is lying to you

It tells you it built something but it didn't. We used X framework when really it used Y. You asked for tier one security and it gave you superficial work. If you aren't an expert or if you're moving fast and breaking things...how do you know it did everything it said it was going to. You don't.

The fix is adversarial checking. Rather than having agents check their own work...you need something that starts from a position of assuming the agent is lying and searches for evidence it's telling the truth. Something that reads your original spec and interrogates the output as a skeptic, not a validator. This has to be architectural. You can't prompt your way into genuine verification.

GoBananas has this built in. But whatever you're building with...design for skepticism from the start, because the tool won't do it for you.
