@vivoplt Vibe coding is for simple apps that don't need ongoing development.
@jackfriks $100 million a month with a team of 30... one day
@yongfook Congratulations!
If you’re having trouble selecting an ICP, one idea is to A/B test in ads/website. Another is to look at the differences between customers who stay forever and customers who churn quickly. Early on, you can always change your mind! longform.asmartbear.com/icp-ideal-cust…

Post seed funding, the pursuit of sales and fundraising over learning and delivering great product to customers is the biggest midwit tarpit for most founders.
Code quality matters
I don't know any content creators who work only 20 hours a week and are successful, in the sense of bringing in meaningful money or influence. Everything is hard.
Any one customer is not a representative of your entire customer base. So if you’re acting based on feedback from a single person, you’re flailing in the wind.
“Launching” is over-rated. Most of the time it's a flop; a huge waste of time, and hurts morale. Even in the best case, you still have to earn customers systematically for the next 3 years. Just work on THAT.
They lied to you. Building software is really hard.
@levelsio Owning a home also works better from an investment perspective if you either don't live in it or own 2 or more homes. Owning one home as an investment comes with the problem that it's hard to ever get the dollars out, because you'll probably buy another place if you sell.
@jackfriks 1,000,000,000,000. Give or take.
@ThePrimeagen Even if it's AI-related, it may be driven by companies' perception of AI, not necessarily reality. AI doesn't have to actually replace software engineers for companies to predict that it will and decide to stop hiring.
@ThePrimeagen Yeah, you're not imagining it—AI has absolutely dominated the discourse lately. It's become the go-to topic for media, startups, VCs, influencers, and even people who barely understand it. That leads to a flood of shallow, repetitive content—same buzzwords, same hot takes...
People graduate college and they suddenly get all this freedom, except for their whole lives, school has trained them not to use it.
@ArmenShimoon Needs fewer cooks in the kitchen! 😂
@LinuxHandbook Could you imagine? The horror.
@ThePrimeagen It's better StackOverflow: Bad at writing code. Great at assisting coders.
@forgebitz Hit the nail on the head. It's amazing what you can claim to accomplish when you combine LLMs, impatience, exaggeration, and engagement farming.
