I Almost Walked Into a Legal Trap (Every Fashion Store Owner Using AI Should Watch) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Using AI to put a supplier's model into a new scene looks like a cheap lifestyle shoot. In practice, you're placing a real person in a setting she never agreed to. I nearly did exactly that for my fashion store and backed out, then rebuilt the workflow with an original AI model instead. In the final A/B test against a real photoshoot, the AI version still got the color, pockets, and button count wrong, so here's what I'm fixing before it goes to production. 👉https://sarobuilds.com/ai-fashion-mod
Stop Guessing: A Fashion DTC Founder's Framework for Picking Print-on-Demand Products (Part 1) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most print-on-demand brands launch on luck and then burn cash on ads trying to fix a bad product decision. In Part 1, I walk through the product selection framework I'm using to plan my own fashion collections. The customer sits at the center, surrounded by three corners: product, pricing, and design. We use two real personas, Alice (19, lives in hoodies) and Bob (32, tech, quiet basics), to show how each corner changes depending on who you're building for. The print-on-demand market is projecte
AI-Generated Code Has 1.7x More Issues — What CodeRabbit's New Study Found (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI isn't the problem — unreviewed AI is. CodeRabbit analyzed 470 open-source pull requests and found AI-co-authored PRs contained ~1.7x more issues overall than human-only PRs (10.83 vs. 6.45 per PR) — with severity skewing toward critical and major findings across logic & correctness, readability, error handling, performance, and security. It's time to go back to basics: use AI for speed, but review its output like you'd review a senior engineer's PR. Full breakdown on the blog. Source study: h
Vibe Coding's Governance Problem: 93% of Tech Leaders Are Worried (opens the original)
Read excerpt
93% of senior tech and security leaders are concerned about vibe-coded tools running in production — and only 8% say they have strong governance in place. 1 in 5 orgs have already had a production incident from an AI-built tool, and half aren't even sure. If you're vibe coding, pay attention to who touches your code, what happens after you ship, and especially your data access controls.

Master the Claude Prompt to Find a $1 App Idea — I Watched It Kill Mine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most "vibe coders" build first and hope customers show up later. In Q1 2026 alone, nearly 236,000 new apps hit the App Store — an 84% jump year over year — and most of them will never make a dollar. Read the full blog - https://sarobuilds.com/the-1-test-how-i-used-claude-to-validate-a-saas-idea-before-writing-any-code/ In this video I walk through the exact Claude prompt I use to test an app idea before writing a single line of code, starting with one blunt question: would a real stranger pay yo
