If your MVP was built with Lovable / Bolt / Base44 and real users just started signing up There’s a high chance your product is about to quietly fall apart Not because your idea is bad But because your foundation isn’t real yet

I’ve worked with Next.js for years. But using it as the backend for a large SaaS is like living on fast food At first it feels amazing. Its quick, cheap, and convenient.. You’re shipping fast, energy is high, everything seems fine. Then months pass. Weird pains show up. Nothing breaks at once, but problems quietly pile up One day you realize the damage isn’t small anymore. Now you’re spending serious time and money fixing things that should’ve never been an issue. Just like bad health, it sneaks up on you Next.js isn’t the problem. Using it as your core backend is People will disagree. Most opinions come from vibes This one comes from experience 😉

I just picked up Felix Lee’s Ultimate Designer’s Guide to Vibe Coding and its insane!! The Notion covers: - setting up Cursor + Claude Code properly - building your first real project - GitHub basics without overwhelm - deploying, going live, adding a custom domain - how Supabase + OpenAI fit into real apps It’s very beginner friendly but still leads you to shipping something real If you wants to build apps or workflows without getting lost in tech this is a solid starting point Comment “Genie” and I’ll send it to you

God bless vibecoding 😅 every dollar you save vibe coding gets paid back in security work most vibe coded apps dont fail because of features they fail when real users arrive and security assumptions get tested vibe coding makes building cheap and fast it also makes insecure decisions scale faster what we keep seeing when MVPs leave demo mode no threat model founders say “no sensitive data” but forget about auth tokens, admin routes, webhooks, background jobs, API abuse those are attack surfaces even without PII secrets handled casually keys in frontend code, logs, temp scripts, old commits AI is great at wiring APIs and terrible at protecting credentials auth works only on the happy path refresh mid-action, replay a request, hit an endpoint directly and the system behaves in ways nobody expected this is how privilege escalation and data leaks happen no rate limiting or abuse protection LLM calls, exports, uploads, background jobs one curious user or bot can spike costs or bring the app down no audit trail when something breaks you can’t answer the only question that matters what happened, who accessed what, and when the important part security isnt something you “add later” its a property of how the system is shaped if you dont design for it early you still pay for it later through audits through emergency fixes through refunds through lost trust the founders who survive this phase all do boring things early separate experiments from production lock down secrets properly log access and failures assume every dependency will fail design endpoints assuming they will be abused, not just used vibe coding isnt the problem treating production like a demo is the real question isnt “is vibecoding safe” its when you want to pay the security bill before users depend on you or after

this is actually the predictable outcome.. when people vibe code serious systems without threat models audits or ownership the attack surface explodes.. If youre building anything with money, wallets, or users involved and security is an afterthought youre not innovating youre just outsourcing profit to whoever audits you later (I guess i ll buy mu Rolex soon)

How to profit like a mf 1. Look for whoever says they are vibecoding their web3 project 2. Wait for their bug bounty to launch 3. Submit easy to find Critical severity vulnerabilities 4. Buy Rolexes and Lambos

I kinda feel were heading somewhere scary Building apps is getting so easy that soon people will ship millions of them without thinking twice about security, data, or what happens when things break Stuff will work just enough to get users until it doesnt Then leaks, hacks, and outages start piling up quietly Speed is moving way faster than responsibility.. When building feels free mistakes scale too!! If discipline doesnt catch up a lot of people are gonna get burned before the industry slows itself down again Vibecoding isnt bad.. Shipping things without accountability is!!

Everyone suddenly becoming a vibecoding expert isnt the problem The problem is confusing a demo with a system You only understand an app after users show up, data drifts, costs spike, and nothing behaves like the prompt promised Until youve untangled that mess youre not an expert! youre just early!!

@uli_juls Yeah thats the funny part. We review vibe coded apps that look like spaghetti mazes and the same people call themselves experts the next day -_- Shipping once isnt mastery but cleaning the mess when users arrive is

When you find out that everyone has become a vibecoding expert overnight

@Joestar_sann I get the anger! weve done code reviews on vibe coded apps that literally looked like a maze. No ownership, no frozen logic, data flowing in circles. Teaching before youve debugged real breakage is how bad patterns spread fast.. we are fu*ked!

I have nothing against vibecoding. I did it myself and I’m doing it right now too. But holy shit... why did all CT retards suddenly start vibecoding? You are literally monkeys with a gun!!! And the worst part? You’re writing ARTICLES teaching others. What the fuck can you teach when the only thing you’ve vibecoded is a shitty website built with ONE prompt? And it gets even worse. You dump these articles into your pity engagement groups, farm some initial likes and comments, and then the X algo boosts it thinking it’s good content. Absolute insanity. I’m actually mad right now. Maybe I should just buy that article subscription too and start posting any random bullshit???

basic vibecoding tips: - be very specific, try not to 1-shot things - treat it as a new intern - make it draw state diagrams - compact the context window regularly - ask it to role play (i.e you're a sr perf eng at cloudflare) - make it ask clarifying questions before code

@mert Most people do these and still get messes because they skip freezing decisions. Specific prompts dont help if logic keeps changing. The real move is deciding whats allowed to evolve and whats locked before you code and thats what stops drift

Just finished Vibe Coding by @RealGeneKim and @Steve_Yegge What clicked for me isnt “AI writes code faster” its that when building costs almost nothing, intent becomes the real constraint. Taste, restraint, and knowing what to freeze matter more than speed The haunted codebase part is real too. Auto-generated systems fail differently, and if you don’t design for that, you’re stacking invisible debt AI isn’t replacing engineers It’s forcing us to become architects of intent Curious how others see it.. embracing the vibe with guardrails, or still uneasy about what we’re auto creating?

@priyankapudi @hridoyreh Solving a real problem always wins

@GenieOps @hridoyreh I am following this recently a lot, and this is definitely a good idea!

How to find business ideas: 1. Go to Flippa. 2. Filter sites doing $10K+/m. 3. Pick a product idea that has demand. 4. Check reviews. 5. Build with better features. Do SEO and make money...

This is how you ship clean, testable, AI assisted code without the spiral.. without rewrites and without fear of touching things later Id normally say “follow me for the playbook” but f it.. just use it

Why this works (and vibe coding usually doesnt) Most vibe coding fails for one reason: intent isn’t frozen When intent is fuzzy AI fills gaps with guesses Those guesses compound Thats how you get “it worked yesterday” bugs This workflow fixes that You’re not dumping everything into the IDE and hoping You’re giving AI a map You’re keeping it on rails You stay the one making decisions AI becomes a fast, obedient engineer Not a creative wildcard.

🧵 You’re probably vibe coding wrong (and that’s why things spiral) I’ll say it straight Most people arent failing with AI because it’s weak.. They’re failing because they treat it like magic instead of engineering Ive built production apps this way Real users. Real traffic. Real consequences. Mostly with Cursor. Very little manual intervention But first… this is likely your current flow: You open your editor You type “build me X” AI starts strong… then drifts One fix breaks another thing You restart. Again That’s not building That’s rolling dice!! Here’s the system I use It’s boring. It’s structured And it works every single time
