How AI Is Quietly Reshaping the Software Development Lifecycle
This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/how-ai-is-quietly-reshaping-the-software-development-lifecycle. AI has accelerated software delivery, yet the SDLC remains outdated—still following decades-old steps: planning, requirements, development, testing, deployment.

AI has changed the pace of software delivery, but the process has not caught up. The traditional software development lifecycle (SDLC) has not evolved in decades. The traditional cycle includes: Planning, Defining Requirements, Development, Testing, and Deployment.

I Spent 30 Days “Vibe Coding” an MVP — Burned $127, Broke Everything, and Still Found Product-Market
This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/i-spent-30-days-vibe-coding-an-mvp-burned-$127-broke-everything-and-still-found-product-market. I have recently been diving into the world of vibe coding and I thought of cataloging my experience for the benefit of others.

This story was written by: @renjitphilip. Learn more about this writer by checking @renjitphilip's about page, and for more stories, please visit hackernoon.com. I spent 30 days building a financial planning tool for founders by “vibe coding”. Made every mistake possible. Burned through $127 in Replit credits. Got calculations wrong by 20%. Watched 23 "interested" founders become 2 signups. But I also learned that: (1) AI struggles with precision calculations, (2) founders don't want another spreadsheet—they want advice, and (3) sometimes less is more. One founder offered $50/month for the simplified version. That's validation enough to keep going. This was a great learning experience for me as I go to be on the other side of the table so to say. I spend time working with founders at accelerators and advising them about getting from zero to 1. This was a good opportunity for me to “eat my own dog food”!
