"Go all the way until it hurts. If you're doing something and it's easy, it's not valuable." - @travisk
"If anyone says a strategic thing was easy, I'm like, 'You messed up. You could have gone way further. More competitive advantage. More differentiation. Get it together.'"

@rvandenbrink @paoloanzn probably will happen but worrying is a waste of energy, focus on what you can control
English
@tinycacguy @paoloanzn I’m more worried about what happens if this succeeds, and we have 30-40% of the workforce laid off overnight
Plus I still take joy in writing clean code myself (I don’t code for a living tho)

vibecoder asks claude code to build a chat app, gets a working prototype in 20 minutes, immediately tweets "just killed slack and discord"…
brother you don't even know what a distributed system is. you don't know what database replication means. you have no idea how websocket connections behave at scale or what happens when 50k people are online at once and someone's message needs to show up in 200ms across 3 continents
slack has engineers making $300k+ who have spent a decade solving problems you don't even know exist yet. race conditions, eventual consistency, message ordering, presence systems, file storage at scale, search indexing across billions of messages
your app works on localhost with 2 connections. that's not the same thing as "killing slack" that's a college homework assignment
the prototype is maybe 0.5% of what makes these products actually work in production. the remaining 99.5% is infrastructure, reliability, edge cases, and years of iteration on problems that only surface when real humans use your thing at scale
and the worst part is the confidence. "yeah its not perfect but ai one-shotted it, just need to adjust a few things and deploy" - the few things you need to adjust IS the entire product. thats like pouring a foundation and saying you basically built a skyscraper, just need to adjust a few things
ai is genuinely incredible for building tools and prototypes. i use it every day. but there's this weird thing happening where people who have never shipped anything to real users at scale now think the hard part of software is writing the first 200 lines of code
it never was bro

@rvandenbrink @paoloanzn go take the opportunity by the balls instead of being paralyzed by it. you have more control than you think
English
@tinycacguy @paoloanzn Think of us as people who have read this story / watched this movie a few times already ….
English
@tinycacguy @paoloanzn Think ahead 5 years. The managers fired all the engineers because the AI evangelists told them too, they’re off doing other things now. So where are you getting the engineers that you can “always hire” to fix this thing now?
English
@tinycacguy @paoloanzn The odds of me running into two Tiny Cacs in one day seems astronomically low. And on a Friday the 13th? Bizarre.
English
@El_Turf maybe you will go extinct, i will always hire competent people
English
"You can always hire engineers". I thought the argument is that Claude and pals will make us go extinct? What happened?
Tiny Cac Guy@tinycacguy
@paoloanzn yea except you can still scale to millions of users with basic infra because people have solved many of the really hard problems. you can always hire engineers to rebuild the thing when you hit massive scale. claude makes getting off the ground easier.
English
@tinycacguy @paoloanzn It also means you have a million people "getting off the ground" to compete with now. And the existing Slacks of the world can use AI to replicate your app into a feature in a couple hours.

@olekolekoleks @zekramu thank you for introducing me to this concept brother i really appreciate it. i have now closed down my business.
when my employees asked why i said because no one is allowed to do better than olek.
i will focus on kalshi going forward.

@tinycacguy @zekramu Show me LTV:CAC
Don't care about small cac if the meat is non-existent
English
im actually surprised more people who have technical literacy dont pursue this. genz complains about not being able to get jobs and yet these jobs are almost hand tailored to them.
zek@zekramu
people who understand funnels, distribution, and GTM are going to be very, very wealthy. I mean, many already are, but this is going to be the “it” job everyone is raving about.

LLM listicles have never been more important
Takes around 2 weeks to get recommended by Gemini + ChatGPT
This method gets you featured in 100 listicles for $99
Comment LISTICLE + like this post, and I'll DM it to you (must be following)
Sundar Pichai@sundarpichai
We’re bringing new capabilities powered by Gemini models to @googlemaps. With Ask Maps, get answers to complex questions about any place you want. For example it can help with complex requests like "Find me the best 3-hour family hikes in the Grand Tetons and a spot for a packed lunch”. Will try this next time I'm there:) Rolling out now in the US and India.

@ThomasGrayX Yes, a lot. You’ll have to wait till tomorrow’s episode of My First Dollar to see what he’s cooking with it

This 18 year old literally has 12 $200 Codex plans.
Here's exactly how he organizes them to build 100x faster:

@musamanzz i bet this makes way more than $100k over a longer period w clipping etc
