Running comps manually on Redfin/Zillow gets old fast. I built a Chrome extension that turns listings into spreadsheet-ready data + deal models. No new platform. No logins. Just faster underwriting. Demo ↓

@feifei_qiu Providing similar value & insights for 1/10th the cost

If anyone can build a SaaS quickly today, why would someone choose to use yours? What makes your SaaS defensible?

@coreyhainesco "Skill" but it's just a prompt?

Competitor comparison pages convert like crazy. This Skill writes them for you.

@bindureddy Knowing what & how it should be has always been the more important role in business & society

AI is having a rather harmful impact on programmers As they use AI more and more for coding, they are forgetting how to write basic code Over time, they risk losing critical thinking and problem solving skills! 😳

@ianlapham It was fun building SteStein.com and all the projects on there, didn't take 'many years of boring things'

trend I’m noticing People think they’re being productive using fancy agent setups and AI tools But in reality it’s mostly dopamine loop chasing and procrastination It feels very smart and useful to have AI generate you some massive block of analysis and strategy. The brain loves the behavior of “prompt and see”, it’s literally a variable reward (like scrolling or gambling) But doing anything useful in the world takes a lot of time, consistency, and many years of just doing the boring things over and over again Startup costs are now 0, but long term execution is still very hard. Most people will perpetually pivot because of this

@awilkinson I think you'd really want local custom tooling/apps built for Openclaw to use & operate on Imagine for marketing if a local instance of RedditBotManager.com was controllable via bot:

I want to hire someone to build me an team of remote Openclaw employees. Who can help? 🤑 Paid gig. TLDR: I want - support, engineering team, designer, marketer, etc.

@benln Local-first tools like redfinzillowextension.com (built with Cursor)

What are you building this weekend? Share links, curious to see.

Stop copy/pasting listings into spreadsheets

Live pricing, comps, and market signals — extracted directly from the Redfin or Zillow page you’re viewing:

@lochan_twt Knowing the codebase is the most important (which files contain what, how it all works, etc) to feed proper @ file context to a detailed bug/feature/improvement-specific prompt. This results in targeted changes that are nearly always mergable

how do you people maintain code quality while vibecoding ???

@marclou Can build great things, but without having spent my life to gain a following, it's really hard to get users For example: redfinzillowextension.com

The pace of AI is overwhelming, but being able to build during this transition might be the luckiest timing of my life.

Drop your project URL Let’s drive some traffic

@salesxsaas I did a full reddit thread writeup early '25, this is old tech at this point: reddit.com/r/ChatGPTCodin…

@salesxsaas I can show you plenty... totally cold lead (random Airbnb property owner in my market) got our text automation, called us and spoke to AI representative, ended up booking a call with the owner. Stacked Calendar for the entire week in a day or two with small batch of leads

I’ve still yet to see a real world example where an AI SDR agent has booked a qualified call

@ryolu_ This is the exact theme of my portfolio site (and products on it): SteStein.com

software is still about thinking software has always been about taking ambiguous human needs and crystallizing them into precise, interlocking systems. the craft is in the breakdown: which abstractions to create, where boundaries should live, how pieces communicate. coding with ai today creates a new trap: the illusion of speed without structure. you can generate code fast, but without clear system architecture – the real boundaries, the actual invariants, the core abstractions – you end up with a pile that works until it doesn't. it's slop because there's no coherent mental model underneath. ai doesn't replace systems thinking – it amplifies the cost of not doing it. if you don't know what you want structurally, ai fills gaps with whatever pattern it's seen most. you get generic solutions to specific problems. coupled code where you needed clean boundaries. three different ways of doing the same thing because you never specified the one way. as Cursor handles longer tasks, the gap between "vaguely right direction" and "precisely understood system" compounds exponentially. when agents execute 100 steps instead of 10, your role becomes more important, not less. the skill shifts from "writing every line" to "holding the system in your head and communicating its essence": - define boundaries – what are the core abstractions? what should this component know? where does state live? - specify invariants – what must always be true? what are the constants and defaults that make the system work? - guide decomposition – how should this break down? what's the natural structure? what's stable vs likely to change? - maintain coherence – as ai generates more code, you ensure it fits the mental model, follows patterns, respects boundaries. this is what great architects and designers do: they don't write every line, but they hold the system design and guide toward coherence. agents are just very fast, very literal team members. the danger is skipping the thinking because ai makes it feel optional. people prompt their way into codebases they don't understand. can't debug because they never designed it. can't extend because there's no structure, just accumulated features. people who think deeply about systems can now move 100x faster. you spend time on the hard problem – understanding what you're building and why – and ai handles mechanical translation. you're not bogged down in syntax, so you stay in the architectural layer longer. the future isn't "ai replaces programmers" or "everyone can code now." it's "people who think clearly about systems build incredibly fast, and people who don't generate slop at scale." the skill becomes: holding complexity, breaking it down cleanly, communicating structure precisely. less syntax, more systems. less implementation, more architecture. less writing code, more designing coherence. humans are great at seeing patterns, understanding tradeoffs, making judgment calls about how things should fit together. ai can't save you from unclear thinking – it just makes unclear thinking run faster.

@jackfriks If you make a good intro/demo video, you don't need a trial

i do understand it for things with extremely high cost, but still can be fixed by limiting usage (no trial) and then increasing base prices a bit to make up for said usage

no free trial option or free usage is an awful user experience just saying i dont care if it makes more money

@levelsio That's why I made RedfinZillowExtension.com, to help everyone do things themselves!

I'm so done with real estate agents What an absolutely useless profession in 2026 Nowadays when I go visit houses to buy you get the construction company guy tell you everything anyway, and they actually know their stuff And then you have some literally low IQ shady car salesman guy hovering around you in the back with NO added information and NO added service "Yes this house is great because it's north-facing" And then for doing absolutely nothing zilch nada, they deserve 5% of the house price in commission??? And you can't visit the house direct because real estate agents cover each other asses so the selling agent will tell you to find a buyer agent to be able to visit it A complete racket 100%

@abhisheknaironx @SuperteamTalent Lmk SteStein.com

Getting hired used to be tough. It’s not anymore. What is hard now is standing out in an ocean of fake resumes, copy-paste portfolios, and genuinely cracked talent. The @SuperteamTalent scouts like me are here to find real builders in that noise and get them hired. Drop your portfolio and fill the form in my bio. If you’re a good fit, we’ll DM you.

@mjboswell hmu SteStein.com

I’m hiring several designers on X to help connect humanity. Who are the best designers or design engineers you know? I’d love to chat. Must embrace AI tooling and code. If you live in Figma mocks all day, not a good fit.

Redfin & Zillow get ~300M monthly users. Instead of competing, I built on top of them. This Chrome extension runs comps, pulls structured data, and pre-fills a fix & flip model — directly on Redfin & Zillow themselves. Demo ↓
