Day 5/30: What’s your Niche? It’s one of the first real problems most founders face.

@TTrimoreau code

I’m a vibe coder, frighten me with one word

@ARIKAHENRY Thinking aloud, are you talking about truth (right/ wrong) or handed (right/ left)?

Can an individual actually be right all of the time?

@plainionist Well i was thinking about two things speed, code quality. It is clear that LLM are faster. Judging LLM quality, may be a bit tricky. If we were to take the position garbage-in/garbage-out, are the completions as good as the prompts? Like to know your reasoning.

@plainionist do you know any human who can code as fast?

Uncomfortable truth: LLMs already write better code than many mediocre developers. Agree? 🤔

Real question: Did he limit the business… or finally make it obvious who it was for? And will non-runners still buy anyway?

You notice a small group of runners who are always thirsty… but avoid regular lemonade. Most founders never realize the runners are actively avoiding their product. The smart founder reformulates the product for them. And that often means rethinking the entire product development cycle. That tiny shift looks like shrinking the market. But counterintuitively, this is often how new categories emerge. By thinking small, you can sometimes go big, much bigger: health, fitness, performance, or an entirely new consumer behavior.

Day 8/30: Your Kamae? Positioning ... Most founders think positioning = marketing.

@sesigl Fair point. I was curious on your take in their behavior outside the study. Would they go through the exact same steps when they code for pleasure, without any pressure, no deadlines or observation - just them and AI?

@ArvindJanakiram Yes, the paper mentions participants were aware of the study setup. But the researchers argue that knowing you're observed changes what you do, not the core skills you rely on. The professionals still needed to plan, verify, and debug, that doesn't disappear under observation.

UC San Diego researchers watched 13 professional developers work with AI in real production environments. Surveyed 99 more. Number who practiced vibe coding: zero. Not because they rejected AI. Because they rejected a specific relationship with it.

@ARIKAHENRY We are living.

@ARIKAHENRY Life's great.

What is life's greatest lesson?

@nicktozi Yes — it goes deeper. It starts with perception.

@ArvindJanakiram Picking a niche sounds simple until you realize it sits at the intersection of skill, demand, positioning, and long-term interest.

Day 5/30: What’s your Niche? It’s one of the first real problems most founders face.

What's your story? What's you brand?

In the earlier example, the entrepreneur already won that day through a unique product offering. “Lemonade formulated for runners.” The right people immediately recognize: “This was made for me.” But what happens when everyone starts selling lemonade for runners? Now the value proposition alone is no longer enough. The products start looking similar. The category becomes crowded. Recognition becomes harder. Enter the brand. A brand is what helps people remember, trust, and emotionally associate your product over competitors. The first mover often has an advantage here. Over time, customers stop remembering only the product category. They start remembering your version of it. That association becomes leverage.

Day 7/30: What's in a brand?

What will come after AI?

@kritikakodes How?

I think content creation is beating software engineering. In terms of Money & Freedom.

@AlexHormozi Is anything ever truly 100% outside of school? The real danger isn’t “I wasn’t at 100%”. The danger is believing we should be at 100%. Isn’t 100% just perfectionism in disguise? And isn’t entrepreneurship the art of winning imperfectly — consistently?

"I wasn't at 100%" is never an acceptable excuse - because no one is.

@bramss_ua @RoselineKace yep, one puts me in and another out. what do I do? 😂

@ArvindJanakiram @RoselineKace Да, лев думает - так, от одной проблемы избавился, осталось выбрать,что сегодня на обед

Freeing a mountain lion from a trap while her kids watch 😮 OMG 🫣🙆🙉

@ARIKAHENRY brevity with impact

On 𝕏, do you prefer long form content, one liners, or creations that are visually stunning?
