@James_paul_dev Have 2-4 in live apps today. I just moved my own custom auth for the current product I am building over to better-auth. Building an IT platform and auth is too central to leave to an external third party, but I was going to sink too much time continuing to build myself.

Best auth solution for startups? 1) Clerk 2) Firebase Auth 3) Supabase 4) Custom auth

@alexwtlf Things are rough in the b2c and widget-style small business/solo dev-oriented b2b app game. Thankful for the world of mid-market/enterprise b2b I'm in here, where valuable products are not cloned overnight, the market is spending more than ever, and organic growth trumps all.

Founders, why are you still building? There’s no moat anymore. How are you gonna hit $1K MRR today when AI can clone your SaaS in seconds?

@Gitmo99 This is 1000% fake news. Why is this engagement bait AI garbage even still online on this platform? 🤮

Crazy women wants to sue girl for 1.4 million after she fights back against her son who tried to mug her. MMA fighter wasn't allowing some street punk to grab her pocketbook. You need to be a better mother and maybe your son won't steal. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 #HIAW

@weswinder there are literally 4 startups that got into YC because they were vibe-coded alternatives to slack.

everybody saying saas is finished because of ai but i still haven’t seen a vibe coded salesforce or slack people out here running 100 claude codes in parallel and yet… literally not a single big saas has been replaced by ai code lol

@weswinder And they won’t be, because only the folks who aren’t actually familiar with how businesses choose and procure the products they use think it’s about the code. AI has somehow created armies of people cosplaying as CxO decision makers on social media and it’s wild 😂

@nateliason One line of code. One line of flawed logic in your code is all that is necessary to ruthlessly hack your app. If you are making a local sandboxed POC, do what you want. If you intend on having actual users for anything beyond a toy application, you should delete this tweet 😧

“If you don’t review AI code it just makes a mess of slop.” No, your desire to keep your code human-friendly is creating an unnecessary bottleneck. Stop looking at the code. Let the AIs handle it.

@MacroEscobar @SimonHoiberg @forgebitz If you are building a low-value/low-risk/toy application, you may not have much to lose. If you are building something substantial and the security integrity of your app is important - you review everything and AI is still useful as an accelerator.

claude just wiped my entire database the whole "i don't care about the code" isn't really valid when the stakes are high (this is just a local dev database)

@nathan_covey I was first to reverse-engineer one of the most significant cyberattacks of the last 5 years, and I disagree. I personally wouldn’t have been able to do what I did in the time I did it if I had to be in the office. And yes, I do have the receipts 👍

@carterdev90 @dabit3 lol yep. Now go run it in production. At scale. And dare to tell me it’s secure. Dare to tell me I can’t ruthlessly hack it.

Something I wanted to see if Claude Opus 4.5 could do: clone a fully functional Billion $ SAAS product and make it at least 100x cheaper. The first product that came to mind was TypeForm because it's very popular, very expensive, and in theory, very simple. The result is OpenForm: a polished + functional and Open Source Typeform clone at ~100x less cost, that can be setup and deployed in ~15 minutes. The agent building this ran for ~35 minutes. Here are the details, technique, and the code:

@BhaagKhela @GergelyOrosz Cloud *is* resiliency. The problem is nobody is doing it, they’re just pretending they are to sound cool. There is a great clip of Larry Ellison calling this nonsense out.

@GergelyOrosz Can we for a second appreciate that it is now not only enough to deploy to cloud but to build resiliency with multiple regions? I would then build my own data center networks then.

Can we for a second appreciate how Robinhood took no responsibility for being down, and tried to put the blame on AWS. However, it was Robinhood that decided to run from a single AWS region, and not be preapred to fail over, like other, more resillient AWS users did...
Robinhood Help@AskRobinhood

AWS (one of our third-party vendors) is experiencing an outage, which is affecting Robinhood services. We’re aware of the issue and will share an update once resolved.

@levie 1000% this. More important than ever. The comments I see about software products completely losing interfaces while everything is driven purely by AI - at least in the world of business where we are not talking about 'toy' apps 'vibe coded' overnight - are wildly out of touch.

Systems of record arguably become more important with AI Agents. When we have 100X more agents than humans, we’ll care a lot about the workflows and data those agents are tied to. The deterministic parts of software are the guardrails that keep agents safe and on track.
The Information@theinformation

.@Box CEO @levie on why AI agents can't keep a secret. "The reason why you probably won't see a complete compression of software where it's just a an agent and a database is because there's a lot of logic in the workflow and in the the company's specific sort of business process that needs to be built into that and around that database." "The agent will make a mistake 1% of the time and it will share the wrong thing with somebody or open up an access privilege to the wrong person." "AI agents can't keep a secret."

@mckaywrigley Claude Code + Opus 4 is so far the only AI that actually writes code and implements fixes that I would have written myself. The other AIs often run in circles - wrong solutions, missing elements of my prompt entirely... Game changer.

Claude Code + Opus 4 is the best agentic coding tool in the world and it’s not close. It’s a: - masterful full-stack dev - with great product sense - that’s a delight to work with - and easy to use If you’re not using it you are behind. Watch for a 72min build session & tips.

@IndieHackers We're headed for a new certificate system for web apps when swaths of "vibe coded" apps start getting hacked. Something akin to FIPS-140 enforcement that governments will mandate at the browser level. 2-3 years away? GREAT time to be in #cybersecurity !

Vibe coding isn't just for games anymore. 🚀 Founders are using it to build real SaaS MVPs in days, not months. AI is writing 90-100% of the code. Here are 7 top-tier examples (bookmark this thread for inspiration):
