Solo founder here building a mobile app with Flutter with no dev team. I’m using Claude Code to build features and Codex as a second pair of eyes to check the work. The workflow is this one: Claude writes the spec and builds the feature, then Codex audits both and gives me GREEN, YELLOW or RED. If it’s RED, I send the issues back to Claude, it fixes them, and then I run the audit again. I thought this was a smart setup. Now I’m starting to think I created a fucking loop Yesterday one difficult feature went through 5 versions of the spec and 4 RED audits in one day. The worst part is that the problems Codex found were mostly real, so every time I thought, “well… I should probably fix that.” But a lot of them weren’t serious bugs. It was stuff like one paragraph contradicting a table, Claude saying the code does something without actually checking the file, or some small edge case not being explained clearly enough. So I fix it, audit again, it finds something else, fix that, audit again… and suddenly I’ve spent the whole day making the process more correct instead of actually shipping. At the same time, I don’t want to remove the second model because it does catch real shit. I’m building alone, I’m not an experienced developer, and I don’t have another engineer sitting next to me reviewing everything. So for other solo builders using agents: how are you handling this? Do you use one AI to audit another? Do you have a limit like “maximum 2 audit rounds and then ship”? Do you only block shipping for things that can actually break the app, security, data, etc., and ignore the smaller stuff? I’m basically trying to find the middle ground between “vibe code and pray” and “have two AIs review each other until the fucking sun explodes.” What’s actually working for you? Any tips that might help?. I want to make the building faster but not be reckless . submitted by /u/ximon16182
