  "account": "Harun, a 12-year-old solo developer from Anthiyur, India, shared his experience of running a stress test on his AI coding mentor, KODA. The tests were conducted by a Senior Software Engineer named Nerando, who had previously engaged with Harun's work on Dev.to.\n\nNerando's 6-point QA stress test involved scrutinizing various aspects of KODA's functionality, including the UI, core capability, persona, edge-case, boundary, and deep domain tests. Each test was conducted using real user inputs without any assistance from Harun.\n\nPassing all six tests, KODA demonstrated its ability to generate accurate Python scripts, maintain character integrity, respond to edge-case scenarios, and admit its limitations when appropriate.\n\nAfter completing the stress test, Harun performed database hygiene by deleting fake or ghost email accounts from his Supabase Auth and profiles table. He explained that maintaining a clean database of real users is more valuable than having a larger database filled with invalid entries.\n\nThe takeaway from Harun's experience is that founders should not rely on assumptions about user needs but instead analyze their database logs to gain insights into actual user behavior. He encouraged other SaaS developers to check their database logs to understand how users engage with their products when they think no one is watching.",

I opened my chats table to see what people were actually asking my AI when they thought nobody…",
