Lessons Learned

The Reality of AI-Assisted Development

Building this system taught me valuable lessons about the current state of AI coding tools and their practical limitations.

Vibe Coding Tools: Strengths and Weaknesses

GitHub Copilot vs. GitHub Speckit Performance:

• Copilot excelled at straightforward code generation and simple modifications
• Speckit showed promise for complex system design but had a critical flaw: over-complication
• Prompt engineering became crucial with Speckit—without careful prompting, it would create unnecessarily complex solutions
• Tool selection strategy emerged: Use Copilot for direct coding tasks, Speckit only for complex architectural challenges with very specific prompts

Language and Ecosystem Dependencies: The effectiveness of AI coding tools varies dramatically based on the technology stack:

• TypeScript delivered excellent results: Strong typing gave AI tools clear context and constraints
• PHP proved problematic: Weaker typing and less structured ecosystem led to more errors and confusion
• Testing ecosystem matters: Languages with robust unit testing frameworks enable AI tools to validate their own work
• WordPress plugin development struggled: The PHP ecosystem's limitations became apparent when trying to use advanced AI tools

Time Investment Reality: Despite the promise of faster development, significant time was spent:

• Reading and understanding AI-generated code to ensure it met requirements
• Correcting simple mistakes that AI tools made despite having clear context
• Debugging over-complicated solutions when Speckit went down rabbit holes
• Learning when to use which tool for different types of development tasks

MCP Server Token Economics

The second major lesson involved understanding the hidden costs of MCP server architecture.

Token Multiplication Discovery:

• Initial assumption: MCP servers would be efficient for data processing
• Reality check: Each MCP server call repeated the entire prompt context
• Cost explosion: A 10k token prompt called 20 times = 200k tokens consumed
• Design implications: Token usage became a primary architectural consideration

MCP Architecture Lessons:

• Prompt optimization became critical: Every token in the prompt multiplied by call frequency
• Batch processing strategies: Grouping operations to minimize server calls
• Context minimization: Stripping unnecessary context from MCP prompts
• Cost monitoring: Implementing token usage tracking for budget management

Future Evolution

Planned Enhancements

Next-phase development includes:

• Batch content modification system enabling targeted updates across multiple pages without full republishing
• Selective section editing allowing modification of specific content sections (e.g., updating one section across 50 state pages while preserving the rest)
• Template-based bulk operations maintaining content consistency across similar page types
• Intelligent internal linking engine automatically identifying and creating relevant cross-page connections
• AI-powered image generation creating custom visuals tailored to specific content topics
• Strategic image placement automatically determining optimal locations for visual content insertion

Advanced Content Operations

Sophisticated content management capabilities:

• Multi-language support for international market expansion
• Real-time content updates automatically reflecting operator changes
• Performance optimization further reducing generation time

The Advision AI-Publisher project demonstrates the transformative potential of AI-powered automation when applied thoughtfully to content creation challenges. By maintaining focus on quality, accuracy, and user value, I created a system that doesn't just automate tasks—it elevates the entire content creation process to new levels of efficiency and effectiveness.
