The "Methodology" that made it work: We moved from initial idea to production in four weekends while I maintained a full-time role. The key was moving past "chaotic vibes" and treating different LLMs like specialized team members: A) Strategic Layer (Gemini Pro): Used for architectural decisions (React/Vite, Node/Express, PostgreSQL/Prisma) and product prioritization.
B) Execution Layer (Claude Code): Used for heavy lifting—implementing the cron jobs, refactoring API patterns, and writing the test suite.
C) TDD as the Guardrail: We never "just coded." Every AI-generated feature followed a strict Test-Driven Development cycle using Vitest. If the tests didn't pass, the code didn't go to production.
The result is a stable system serving 200+ active users with a codebase that doesn't feel "schizophrenic" because we maintained strict cognitive boundaries and context documents for the AI to follow.

It is 100% vibe-coded/AI-assisted. I'm just trying to layer actual engineering discipline (TDD, proper DB migrations) on top of that workflow so it doesn't break when actual parents use it. Thanks for the feedback.
