Cross-platform frameworks like Flutter exist because native development is expensive. But AI is changing that equation. According to Stack Overflow's 2025 survey, 84% of developers now use AI tools, with 51% using them daily. If AI can generate high-quality native Swift and Kotlin from specifications nearly as fast as you can write Flutter code, why accept the abstraction penalty? The future may be "spec-first" development: describe once, generate natively for each platform. The best cross-platform code might be no cross-platform code at all.

Your release process isn't neutral. It reflects what you're most afraid of: breaking production or building something nobody wants.
Pre-PMF startups should fear irrelevance, not instability. Heavy processes like GitFlow, staging environments, and release trains optimize for the wrong risk. They slow learning exactly when speed matters most.
What works instead: GitHub Flow, feature flags, test in production, preview deployments, observability piped to Slack, and fast rollbacks over slow QA.
Ship fast. Learn faster. Add process only when the pain of not having it becomes real.
