I quit my 30 hr/wk corporate job

why write 5 lines of code when you can write a 50 line prompt and still debug the output yourself?

Someone on t'internet said mean things about my product

i'm gonna pass on entering my personal data and credit card info into your vibe coded app

I removed asking for a credit card upfront in Alertly

50% drop off rate at a time when I need people to just use it and get feedback means I have to work 2x harder

Better to do this later on I think after getting solid data

if your MVP is more than a post that says 'DM me if interested' you’ve already over-engineered it

how to be a tech founder:

1. create an ai startup
2. launch a podcast no-one asked for
3. start giving opinions on geopolitics, epidemiology and climate treaties

why would I spend 30 seconds booking a restaurant online

when I can get ChatGPT operator to book a restaurant that doesn't exist in 3 hours for $50?
September 25, 2025 at 12:04 PM
does it bother you to use ai knowing so many people have been exploited to create it?

or are you ok with being a bad person?

"ai is gonna replace all jobs by 2027"

lol
September 23, 2025 at 12:01 PM
guys i've added 'AI' to my landing page

when do the VCs call?
September 22, 2025 at 12:01 PM
just copy a SaaS that works

it's that simple

build another scheduling tool

ai is the new big data pump & dump but with autocomplete

if I was a founder I’d only build successful startups
September 20, 2025 at 12:01 PM
launching is overrated

just keep building in stealth forever

customers love that
