the weirdest thing about vibe coding is when you read something the AI wrote and its actually clever. like you cant tell if its clever or just wrong in a way you cant see yet. that uncertainty lives rent free in my head. this and a thought that I'm just dumber than i thought

vibecoders, sincerely, fuck you all

Lead gen tool did 743K between january and mid february. Built it in bolt over a weekend because my roofing buddy needed leads. Turns out every roofer in america has this problem. Im a former gym teacher from ohio. I coached JV basketball for 9 years. I dont have a pitch deck. I have a bolt project I never read and a stripe dashboard that looks like a phone number.

I watched one YouTube video about Cursor and the guy built an entire app in 20 minutes. I have been working on my app for six weeks and I'm starting to suspect that video was edited... ahahah *starts crying*

I asked for a simple form that saves information. Just saves it somewhere so I can see it later. This is apparently a massive undertaking that requires a database, API routes, environment variables, and a separate service. For a FORM wtf, I wanna sleep

I'm going to disrupt the project management space. Yes like Asana and Monday and Jira and Notion. But mine will have a much simpler interface.

someone told me I should learn SQL to understand my database better. I asked ChatGPT and it explained everything. same thing basically, we no longer need to spend years learning shit, feel sad for those who don't understand it

My app went live yesterday. It has a homepage, a waitlist form, and a pricing page. I sent the link to 12 people and 3 of them actually signed up. This is real traction. Posting my journey to 10K users starting now.

people keep asking me what my tech stack is. I don't actually know, the AI just chose it. does that matter? its so over for old devs

I sold my idea to two investors for 15k combined before I'd built it. They keep asking for updates. The app doesn't work. I've been managing their expectations for nine months. This is not what I thought building a startup would feel like.

The app works but every time I add something new it breaks two other things. I've been in this cycle for five months. I fixed the calendar, broke the payments. Fixed the payments, broke the login. I genuinely don't know if this can be fixed or if I need to accept that it can't.

Im so fucking tired of all of this AI stories, its like back in crypto 2021 again, I left it for AI and now I feel exhausted as I was back then

Teaching a cohort of 20 non-technical founders how to build apps with AI. $497 per person. Course content is based entirely on my own experience vibe coding. I have not taken a computer science class in my life. My students are building real products.

I asked fiverr guy to clean up my code for 400 usd, he just opened it in the AI and asked it to rewrite everything. I watched him do it on the screen share. He charged me $400 to do what I could have done myself.

The API rate limiting logic that Codex generated was wrong in a very specific way: it rate limited per API key, but the keys were rotating automatically. Effectively no rate limiting at all. Our competitor found this. They scraped our entire product database through the API over one weekend. Every user, every listing, every piece of proprietary data we had. We found out because they launched a competing feature using data that could only have come from us. We have no legal recourse because the data was technically public via the API.

why does everyone make such a big deal about deploying? I just dragged the folder into the hosting thing and it was live. took 4 minutes.

I've been freelancing as a developer for 4 months. $18K in client projects. Every single project was built with AI. Every single client is happy. I am not going to tell you it's easy but I will tell you it's not as hard as developers want you to think.

the thing where you paste an error into the chat and it fixes it and you paste the next error and it fixes that and you do this fourteen times in a row... thats the job now

I'm pre-revenue but the TAM is honestly massive. Like everyone eats food. This is bigger than Doordash.

hey mom, I’m on tv

copy paste pray is a legitimate engineering methodology at this point

My husband thinks I'm consulting. I'm not consulting. The company I was consulting for let me go in january because they automated my role with AI. I have been maintaining the fiction of consulting while I apply for jobs every day because I don't know how to tell him that a non-technical person with claude code is doing the work I spent 11 years learning to do. I don't know how to tell him that I don't know what I'm worth anymore.

a couple day ago my PM asked me to 'vibe out' a new feature by eod. that was the entire ticket description, we r truly fucked by eoy

opened cursor at 9pm, looked up, 2:47am. the feature works tho

i had a runway, customers and momentum. i had a pitch meeting with a tier 1 vc scheduled for tuesday. on monday afternoon my cofounder ran a claude-generated database cleanup script in production instead of staging. it deleted six months of customer analytics data and two months of transaction logs. we had to postpone the pitch. when we went in without the growth metrics we couldn't tell the story. pass. another pass. the momentum never came back.
