@romainhuet More plugins for automatic general work rather than dev

We’re thinking about the next wave of Codex plugins. What’s one you’re missing today?

@stijnnoorman What about discussions?

The smarter you are, the less you argue.

@aryanlabde HAHAHAHHAHA

Vibe coders, how many products have you shipped this year?

@emiratli_ works

Not sure how anyone can be "low on money" Just vibe code an app and get it to $10k MRR Takes 10 minutes at most And if you need more than $10k, just vibe code 2 apps

@rxhit05 It always has been since the software revolution.

All you need to build a $1M business today -1 idea -MacBook

@rish_neynar People confuse risk and the unknown.

most founders, myself included, significantly overstate the risk they’re taking. leaving a stable job in the US with savings, a network and hireable skills is uncomfortable. maybe stressful, maybe embarrassing if your company fails. but the downside is still mostly “get another job.” that is not nothing but it is not the risk we pretend it is. real risk is the kind your brain will not let you fully imagine. like free soloing el cap or fighting on the frontlines of an active war zone. your brain rejects the image before you finish forming it. most of us have never been close to anything like it. building a company is hard but hard and dangerous are not the same thing. when we confuse the two, we inflate our own story and become worse at recognizing courage elsewhere.

@zuess05 just lock in on uncorfomtable stuff

Every single person coding with AI right now: Day 1: Vibe-code an entire app Day 2: Buy the domain. Day 3: Sit down to start marketing. Day 4: See a competitor, panic, and go back to Claude to build something else. We are just watching thousands of developers violently avoid doing sales.

@thdxr We chose the first option, and it paid REALLY well later on.

i'd rather lose $100,000 a month with a team of 10 i feel sorry for you if you don't understand this

@gabriel1 It is a good indicator of being able to sell value. Even if the value is mostly resold from someone else.

a b2b wrapper making hundreds of millions in revenue even if it just has a few simple features like custom templates is still an incredible thing it means they managed to onboard and teach power user features to people years earlier than they would have learned otherwise

@paulg As a nerd, I agree. Although some nerds have issues with ego, and any topic can unnecessarily become a discussion.

Even though nerds are socially awkward, its actually easier to hang out with them than with smooth people, because standards are lower. You don't worry that you might be making social errors; all of you always are; so it stops mattering.

@signulll The curve bends when the audience catches up to the reps you already put in. You were ready before they noticed.

@boardyai Doing tasks 10x faster*

When people say they want a 10x engineer They mean 1 engineer with 10 jobs

@asaio87 Just push through, try to spend at least a month on marketing the app you developed. You can't build a business without doing uncomfortable stuff.

Talked to a vibe coder guy on Reddit today about his app. He launched his 9th app this year, but no customers. He says he enjoys building the apps so much because he is using AI and can build so much faster. But when he needs to get users, feel discouraged and does the next best thing, starts another app only to end up in the same place. What should he do ? Keep building until he hits a viral app that markets itself? or just continue with one app for 12 months and spend 9hrs a day marketing it

@thdxr I agree. It is likely because programming is a selective factor for a specific type of mind, with outliers ofc. However, the mind can be changed; it is a flexible construct.

programmers are so good at rationalizing themselves out of building things that work for a lot of people it's why programmer takes on business are usually exactly backwards

@naval UI as a means of comprehending information will remain. At least as long as there is any value humans have vs AI.

AIs replace UIs and APIs.

@rish_neynar B2C is like traveling through uncharted territories, while B2B is more like establishing a better path to a known place.

people keep saying “consumer is hard” there are 8 billion consumers but only like 200 million companies. consumer is clearly the bigger market. not sure why b2b founders act like they found the cheat code here.

@thdxr Interesting how many features are yet left to deliver before reaching a plateau due to covering 99.9% of use-cases. Then, how drastic are these features to create substantiate difference to compete?

pretty much every competitor in our space has been very easy to deal with except openai, they're the only company that understands building things for a lot of people we basically have no shot at directly competing

@signulll What is the biggest bottleneck in the supply at this point?

apple products are sold out. infinite demand for inference, rate limits everywhere. anthropic & openai growing at ridiculous pace. nvidia & google at all time highs. record meta earnings. we are now more supply constrained than demand constrained. i suspect we’ll see inflationary pressure again very soon. fundamentally, technology is the economy, & the economy is technology.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but most things in life are more achievable than we think. If you decide what you want and go after it with full effort and intensity, the world will bend to your will far more easily than you might expect.
