How Kiro Changed My Development Journey

I built RealEstate Vision—a complete AI-powered property analysis platform using Kiro. Not by writing less code, but by focusing on what matters: the vision, not the syntax. Kiro became my thought partner, not just a code generator. When I said "make it cinematic," it understood the aesthetic. When the map broke, it diagnosed the root cause in seconds. The steering docs I created once applied to every subsequent interaction, compounding productivity with each component. I used specs for complex logic and vibe coding for UI, getting the best of both worlds. The result? 5,000+ lines of production-ready code, 25+ components, 18 documentation files, and 95%+ accessibility—all while maintaining creative flow. Kiro didn't replace my skills; it amplified them. The future of development isn't about AI replacing developers. It's about developers who use AI replacing those who don't.
