Your employees need to stop baiting on X.. "I'll hire cracked devs who score above a certain number, just scan your GitHub, get a score, send me a screenshot" meanwhile getting the actual score is a premium feature.

This is one of the most grotesque metric and funnels for data input I've seen.

And, to delete your Weave account? Email them, they don't respond.

Vibe coding for me was a paradigm shift on AI as a tool I can utilize to unlock more. I started with no-code solutions, and never could get to the last 10% of production-ready. Then saw someone on X mention Cursor. Avoided it, avoided it then said fuck it and dove in, and now I use it daily and it's been a game changer. Prior to all this, I had front-end experience at best... like modifying Wordpress themes back in the day, etc. - I've since shipped two software platforms that are basically AI OS for certain verticals, and an intricate iPhone app, etc... None of this was possible for me before six months ago. Big fan of the IDE experience. I tried Claude Code but I don't like not knowing what's going on the way I see it in Cursor. The first platform I was idea to market in 3 weeks, then the next platform, it took me a day. Not MVP, but fully built out. That's insane. My first startup was an iPhone app back during iOS7, and we had to outsource V1, and it took six months and cost $50k. It was a terrible MVP. Lol. In comparison, I'm doing what I'm doing in Cursor on the $60 plan.

All this to say, Vibe Coding as a no-code, even if the solution can hook api's for you, etc, nah. It should be a gateway at best to fully understand and build via agentic development.

I’m a total subscriber to the notion “you can just do things” and know I can figure anything out with AI. Obsessed with agentic automation lately, and redefining consumer app experiences. I'm deep into my AI journey, would love to join a team, but also happy doing my own thing

It’s true, especially with the “vibe” movement happening in real-time on X… “you can just do things” — I am building ai app layers b2c/b2b and while I do have an ml technical co-founder, I am largely scaling this with AI from strategy, visuals to coding. For example, with Claude created a framework for my company to scale, then built an AI powered dashboard in cursor around it as the command center. At scale we don’t need a team of more than ~5 to reach 7 fig MRR.

Greg Isenberg has some of the best takes on this on X. He articulates the paradigm shift extremely well.. @gregisenberg — one example: https://x.com/gregisenberg/status/1936083456611561932?s=46)

“With 61 years left on the 75-year lease, Chicago Parking Meters LLC now has recouped its entire $1.16 billion investment and $502.5 million more.”

Ridiculously advantageous to the partners of the LLC, and good on them for securing this. Easily one of the best rev deals in history..

Can't knock it

Twitters staff count has felt bloated at ~7,500 employees and I can’t help but think of “rest and vest” clips from HBO’s Silicon Valley, especially during Covid WFH.
