TRU

Everyone and their dog is building a SaaS right now. Can they scale it? Secure it? Fix it at 2 AM? AI closed the gap on writing code. It didn't close the gap on building software that lasts. 20+ years in the game. I don't need to know your industry. You do. You bring the knowledge. I'll bring the engineering. Let's partner. DM me.

All of it, and AI actually helped me develop new skills. I’ve been a software dev for years. Can’t “vibe code” apps-in-a-weekend using c#, so I picked up some TS skills. I wasn’t out there building apps as a side-hustle, so I never needed social media…and here I am - with my 46 followers.

If you removed AI from your workflow right now... how much of your actual skill remains?? Genuinely asking. Because I'm not sure about my own answer.

@hariprasad_bg An alarm clock app that will make sure I wake up on time to go to my job. Paycheck = MRR, right?

You're given $0, a laptop, and Claude. You have 30 days to hit $1K MRR. What are you building?

@fortelabs Not worried over here. My wife is building up her to-do list for me.

With Claude Code's help, I'm quickly running out of things to do on my to-do list I'm actually having to go into "someday/maybe" to find new things to give it, like feeding a hungry productivity beast Who will we become when we literally have nothing left on our to-do list?

@dev_maims 100% agree. But this does not only apply to devs - it applies to everyone out there. Genuine people > pretenders.

hot takes: a developer who admits they don't know something is more trustworthy than one who pretends.

@neeraj7105 Hey Neeraj, let's connect! 🤝

X is cool. but it’s 100x better when your timeline is full with people who code and build things. if you’re into tech, AI, startups. say hi 👋

@Raynerdtech Eventually, yes. Immediately, no. Nothing is stopping the vibe coder from reviewing and understanding the code, and then diving deeper into software development.

Can a vibe coder who started with zero knowledge in programming but consistently building eventually become a real dev? 🤔

@maheshnani122 Have to keep building. But that first product (or first 3, like me) are the dopamine hit. The next products need to be really thought out and validated. I started building what I thought was cool/fun. After 0 users and $0 MRR, that dopamine has worn off.

Built your first SaaS. Spent nights after your 9–5. Weeks of effort. Big hopes. Then it launches… No users. Total silence. Brutally failed🥲 Do you still believe in the next one? Do you even dare build another one?

@shelly_vibess Anyone can write code, it's not hard. Writing GOOD code is a different story.

Can someone learn programming in just 3 months? (Yes/No)

The SDLC used to be: Requirements > Design > Build > Test > Deploy > Maintain Now it's: Idea > Prompt > Ship > Prompt > Ship again We went from 6-month release cycles to 6-hour release cycles. The process didn't shrink. The human bottleneck did. The devs who survive this aren't the fastest coders. They're the ones who still know WHY something should be built before asking AI to build it. Requirements gathering didn't die. It just stopped being optional.

@Karann_dev If you don't keep using Claude for those tasks, it'll say: "Seems like changes were made. Let me change them back." 😆

After using Claude for a long time You'll come to a point where you'll use it for 5-second tasks - Change the border-radius to 8px - Change the color to red - add justify-center to the container It'll take at least 15 to 20s to do it But it feels productive Welcome to 2026

@Karann_dev 100% agree. I'll pay all day for experiences.

Experiences > Material Stuff That Europe trip First kiss Game night with homies Your kid's dance performance A great meal with parents These can't be bought, and no material stuff, no matter how expensive, can ever replace beautiful moments Stack experiences, not brands

@Star_Knight12 It's only hype until it becomes mainstream.

after this AI hype, what's the next one

@feifei_qiu Those are the worst ones... ...but good for foundermetrics 🤣😅. You can always resurrect the project later. Hmm, would it be a zombie project then? 🤔

@tim_devtorev I have a side project, not necessarily a failure. I just don’t have the time to maintain it or finish it to production level, but I guess it dies by my own hands.

Founders: weekend pitch day. Pitch your startup in one sentence. But don't just tell us what you do. Tell us what makes you different.

@feifei_qiu It started off as a fun project to see how many "graves" we could get going across the world. Seems like everyone has ideas these days, and I highly doubt all are still up and running. If you've had any ideas fail, add a few to the map 😉

@tim_devtorev lol.😂 If I fail , I go to you ?

@Joe46791334 I've never even heard of some of those 😅

@tim_devtorev Software Tools. Kernigan Structured Programming Yourdon

Old school devs, show your age. Name some books that shaped your career: I'll start (in no particular order): 1. Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship 2. UML Distilled: A Brief Guide to the Standard Object Modeling Language 3. Working Effectively with Legacy Code 4. Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software 5. Domain-Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software 6. Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture Bonus: Raise your hand if you've ever modeled with UML 🙋‍♂️

@AKirtesh Alex, “What is Claude code”

A developer asked an AI to write a function. The AI wrote it in seconds. But it also added edge cases, tests, and better variable names. The developer said: "I spent 3 years learning this." The AI did it in 10 seconds.

@marclou Don’t count me out yet!

I’ve met hundreds of people with great ideas who never made it. But I’ve never met anyone who launched 20 startups and failed.

@Matt_Pinner Flux capacitor switch

99% of people don't know what this switch does. Can anyone explain its function? 🤔

True statement, I've lived through it all. Here's the problem I'm struggling with...AI is going to AI. The rate of change has never been so rapid. I've been a tech-head since day 1. But c'mon, new models in months? Who has the mental capacity to keep up with all the changes, let alone, implement them. A ton of videos will be created about the new tech and then drop off. If you're not already doing it, you're behind in the game. But that's the line in the sand. The ones who figure out how to apply it, not just follow it, are the ones still standing when the dust settles.

we are at the dial-up moment of AI. this is what the internet felt like in the early 2000s. most of the world hadn't touched it. the people who got in early built everything. you are not late. you are so early it's almost unfair.
