Claude Code can build your entire app. Good luck deploying it.

Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot. Pick your favorite. Any of them can generate a working app before your coffee gets cold. Then you spend the next three days setting up git, provisioning a database, wiring environment variables, configuring a staging environment, and figuring out deployment.
The generation problem is mostly solved. The infrastructure problem isn't. Browse r/vibecoding and you'll notice a second wave of complaints beyond code quality: everything that happens after generation. As one founder put it, "you end up spending a lot of time on devops and deployment stuff that isn't really building your product."
