From Stalled to Shipped: How AI Accelerated a Stock Market Automation Platform

This project demonstrates how AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot can overcome development bottlenecks and accelerate project completion, transforming months of stalled work into a production-ready stock automation platform. AutoFlow combines n8n's workflow automation with paper trading and portfolio tracking, showing how developers can build sophisticated financial tools more efficiently. The key insight is the value of shipping functional products over perfectionism—a philosophical shift where completing a project beats indefinite refinement cycles.
