big news: quitting my job at @veedstudio to go all in on building @schematikio
let me know if you wanna join :)

Vibe coding is a game changer for kids to spark their interest and imagination with a quicker sense of progress. With that initial spark, a big part of it is just having the inspiration and a little help on understanding software to go deeper. Just the other week I posted tutorials on how to make your own Harry Potter trivia app

@CyprienRb The best way to validate is to observe people’s actions and the highest fidelity way to do that is by launching. If you’re feeling demoralized, it might be worth trying to scope down the MVP. You can validate a lot by launching a landing page with an email capture.

Hi,
I'm a beginner, I've launched 3 projects (expected to make money) within 6 months,
But every ones revealed as failures!
What was the error?
I didn't validate the idea before launching it,
so I end up losing 6 months of my life, it's painful.
I don't want to ever live this again, I want to validate my ideas BEFORE launching.
But I don't know how to actually do it..
Should I harass people on Reddit?
Spam on X?
Build a MVP and try to sell it?
Go on LinkedIn (god no..) ?
I don't know..
So in your case what do you think/do to validate your ideas?
Do you also think you can validate the same way a website and a service?

AI seems to be heading towards “too cheap to meter” territory.

@SullyBillions Planning feels the most important. It’s like a rising tide that lifts all boats making coding, debugging, designing etc easier/better

@marclou @jackfriks What are some creative ways to get the initial word out?
English

Entrepreneurs underestimate this dead-simple marketing strategy:
1. Build tiny apps to solve your own problems
2. Find new problems on the way
3. Build tiny apps to solve these new problems
@jackfriks did that for 1 year and now makes $10K/month.
It works if you're disciplined and iterate often.

@bentossell A vibe coder with the right specialization outside of making software can be pretty powerful. The domain knowledge plus the ability to build can unlock a lot of

@boringmarketer Marketers are best positioned to build for marketers. Nothing quite like building for yourself. It’s the ultimate edge.

@petergyang This is where knowing how software is made can save a lot of headache. Stuff like workflow is part of the learning curve.
English

@rauchg especially those that can clearly articulate those ideas in detail. clear and specific writing is incredibly high leveraged.
English

being able to sustain mundane work and keep showing up with the same enthusiasm is a big part of building something meaningful. its the less sexy work that can be inordinately impactful, but its not talked about because its frankly not exciting.
another reason why agents are so exciting: freeing up humans for the more creative/fulfilling work

@bentossell @Replit replit's credit based pricing feels limiting compared to cursor's as you're building out more complex things
English

Tool rank for vibe coding:
The best is @Replit - use the agent to kick off the project, then switch to assistant for more complex things
If you want something fairly basic, fast - use bolt/create/lovable
if you want complete control and flexibility; cursor (or replit)
all subject to change within minutes/days?

@rileybrown_ai value here is only going to compound as agents get better and more apps are designed for agent interaction

@SullyOmarr some types of moats (data, network effects) feel more important than ever since the software alone can be replicated quite easily/affordably
English

@SullyOmarr 100%. Knowing how software works still feels important but eventually that’ll be abstracted away where folks completely outside of the software world can make software too.

@nathan_covey I’ve started asking if it’s the same issue to make sure I’m not going insane 😂

@sonny8s @gregisenberg Right now there are different UX patterns for agents (eg flow diagram) but it’s easy to miss out on a lot of nuance. If you can just share your screen, you can give the agent all the context without documenting each painstaking detail

@brianjohnpark @gregisenberg this sounds like key workflow brian, could you expand this in a bit more detail? as way im interpreting it i might be wrong? thanks

Last week I saw the future of how we'll all work with AI.
Logan (Google's AI Studio lead) was showing me Gemini's new“real time streaming” feature. He had his code editor open, and casually said via voice 'hey, should I change this function?'
The clip below is wild - you have to see it to believe it.
The AI was watching his screen. Like literally watching - seeing his cursor move, understanding his code, giving real-time feedback. Like pair programming with an AI that never gets tired.
I've been playing with Claude, ChatGPT, building with v0/Bolt. They're all powerful but this was different. This was like having an AI co-pilot actually seeing your screen, understanding context, and helping in real-time.
Different use-case but really bent my mind.
Think what this means:
• Coding – Ask about any line you're looking at
• Debugging – It sees the error in real-time
• Learning new tools – It watches you struggle and helps
• Writing – It sees what you're typing and suggests edits
The tech behind it is really cool:
• Processes entire screen in real-time
• Understands spatial context
• Can handle 500K+ tokens (like reading a book in seconds)
• Remembers your entire session
Google's giving this away free in AI Studio. Yes, they're competing with OpenAI. But for makers, this is massive.
Thanks to @OfficialLoganK for the time and the demo.
It really blew my mind. This is a clip from the full episode of the Startup Ideas Pod which I’ll link below.
In that episode he gives 2 more demos so it's worth watching.

Happy building.

@PrajwalTomar_ Iteration is key. A lot of folks ship a first version and discard it if it doesn’t get traction but in reality their initial version gets the “minimum” part while forgetting the “viable” part
