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

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

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.

told my client the site would be done in 'a few days'. claude and i have been fighting over a responsive navbar for eleven days. the navbar looks fine. i hate it.

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

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.

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.

hey mom, I’m on tv

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

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

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.

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*

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.

copy paste pray is a legitimate engineering methodology at this point

vibecoders, sincerely, fuck you all

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.

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.

Everyone got really good at writing prompts and somehow nobody put that on their resume yet. I was unemployed for a couple years living of my crypto bags but now I'm thinking to get back in the game...

This is totally "made up" story. Sold my saas for 2.1 million, buyer from singapore did six weeks of due diligence - analytics, revenue, churn, blah blah blah, very thorough. Never once asked how long it took to build (3 days + Claude code lol). I told it what I wanted and deployed whatever it gave me. Never read a single line. The entire backend is raw unreviewed AI output. I signed the deal in a room with nine people and I havent stopped shaking since

I WAS THE VP OF ENGINEERING. I PUSHED FOR VIBE CODING AND CONVINCED THE CEO. I SAID IT WOULD CUT OUR RUNWAY IN HALF AND IT DID. WE SHIPPED FASTER THAN EVER AND THEN WE LAUNCHED AND EVERYTHING BROKE AND WE LOST OUR THREE BIGGEST ENTERPRISE CUSTOMERS IN TWO WEEKS. I was walked to my car by security on a thursday afternoon. dont be me

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

For the previous 6 months I've been driving in Uber and vibe coding on my phone, damn I feel I'm so close to release, my balls are tingling

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.

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.
