Balancing Speed and Quality: Lessons from a 7-Day Prototype Success
In a high-stakes situation, Cadabra Studio faced a formidable challenge: deliver a convincing product demo in just seven days. By shifting focus from backend refinement to creating an immediate and compelling user experience, we developed what we term "Vibe Coding". This unique approach utilizes AI as a creative partner, allowing rapid iteration and delivery of a live product prototype. This journey redefined our development mindsets, balancing urgency with quality. We questioned conventional priorities in early-stage development, embracing the necessary trade-offs for achieving momentum. Explore our process, insights, and the strategic innovations that continue to shape Cadabra’s approach toward fast-paced prototyping, leaving you with the vital question of balancing speed with purposeful quality.
