I have about 6 months of coding experience. All I really knew was how to build a basic MERN app

I’ve been using Sonnet 3.5 to code and I’ve managed to build multiple full fledged apps, including paid ones

Maybe they’re not perfect, but they work and I’ve had no complaints yet. They might not scale to become the next Facebook, but not everything has to scale

What do you do if your app has a bug that your LLM isn't able to fix? is your coding experience enough to fix it, or do you ship with bugs hoping customers won't mind?

If customers do mind then at best it's an opportunity cost (less people will buy). Shipping with bugs > not shipping, simple as.

You better hope no bugs expose you to liabilities like runaway cloud costs or mishandling sensitive data

Yeah SaaS is a different beast. Lots of areas worth hardening. Not really for customers but mainly for yourself. But desktop apps, mobile apps, self-hosted stuff, games, CLIs, libraries - you don't really have to worry about much.
