“AI can’t write real code. It’s just boilerplate.” Meanwhile I rebuilt my 2004 DJ software with AI helping me ship features like beat detection, waveform syncing, roll FX, and real-time audio processing. Turns out the problem isn’t AI. It’s a skill issue

@shredandship Agree. coding was a bottleneck. Now we can finally build exactly what we envisioned

Some developers fell in love with writing code. I fell in love with building things. That’s why AI doesn’t feel like a threat to me. The how has changed a dozen times over my career. The why never has.

@ThomasBurkhartB @seraleev There is nothing wrong with leaving it on the app store. Just ask @StevenCravotta how different his life might be if he had removed Wordle! from the app store because it was a "bust". Zero downside to leaving it there.

@seraleev what is the problem of leaving it in the app store? especially after such a short time?

Bold move: admitting your app failed. Even bolder: removing it from the App Store. Don’t collect failures. Build a strong portfolio of apps.

still clean. 1st loop → auto aligned (quantize ON) 2nd loop → manual 4 beat (quantize OFF)

A major issue you will run into when coding with AI on complex apps: Starting with one small change… then it snowballs. you don’t commit anything because “it’s not working yet.” Next thing you know, you've had the AI iterate on it 20+ times. Now you're stuck in this weird state where: - Parts of it are actually really good - Most of it is broken or over engineered - And you have no clean rollback point Worse… the parts that do work were the result of a very specific chain of prompts and context that you probably couldn’t reproduce again if you tried. So you can’t fully scrap it… but you also don’t trust what you have. The fix is to make sure you: commit sooner, scope smaller, and never let the chat history become your only rollback plan.

@manabiSRS @PaulSolt Yeah, it's using SoundTouch Library under the hood. Works well.

@PaulSolt @cubesol_greg did you find a good solution for time-stretching without paying for zplane elastique?

Mixed my first track with ClubDJ Pro on iPhone. SLICK UI and onboarding tutorial for how a DJ does a crossfade. Check it out. Thanks Greg 🙏 @cubesol_greg

@PaulSolt Yes, the sky is the limit using agents right now! It amazing what can be accomplished

Build something cool with agents!

@PaulSolt Appreciate this a ton Paul 🙏 Seeing someone actually use it means everything!

98 days polishing your website? 2 years adding features? I gave ClubDJ Pro two weeks for building the product and creating a new site + icon. Now the real work begins: getting it in front of people. What % of your time goes to distribution?

@nikitabier @reddit_lies damn... that's crazy

Just to be abundantly clear: It only appears on Replies and it will be used purely for ranking & personalization of that section. The Reply Algorithm is currently is the worst product in the company. There is no logic, no signal, just garbage. Replies could be ordered randomly with crypto spam at the top and it would probably be better than the current system.

This is a bad idea. One of the reasons Reddit is so bad was because of the upvote/downvote system. If dislikes suppress posts in the timeline, X will rapidly descend into an echochamber.

@PaulSolt Ya, fair. PH is probably not the DJ crowd and if you don’t get featured it’s basically lights out anyway unless you have a huge following. Still worth it for the backlinks though 🙂

@cubesol_greg Not everyone is a DJ. Smaller audience, you need to find where they talk online.

Launched ClubDJ Pro on Product Hunt yesterday. One person tried it and believed in it. I appreciate you @PaulSolt If no one else believes in what you're building yet… you better believe in it enough for everyone. Still here. Back to work.

@hiarun02 If your post says, "That's not X. That's Y." You didn't write the post. You generated it.

If you can’t explain your own code without opening ChatGPT. you didn’t write the code. You just generated it. That’s not programming. That’s prompting.

@nikitabier good

The financial incentive to spam on X will decline enormously over the next 30 days and soon be negative.

@jainsahil OR you can spend hours crafting a tweet get 0 views AND write a quick one in 5 secs and also get 0 views😂

Growth on X is weird. You can spend hours crafting a tweet for 200 views. Then write a quick one in 5 secs and it reaches 40k.

@evgeniymikholap 😬

I still haven’t touched OpenClaw and even Claude Code, any MCPs, skills, etc. Most of my AI usage — projects in ChatGPT 😃 Outdated man?

@PaulSolt Thank you Paul, I really appreciate your support 🙂

@cubesol_greg Nice, upvoted! Outreach in DJ communities will be more impactful.

🚀 ClubDJ Pro is live on Product Hunt today I originally built this DJ software in 2004. Last week I rebuilt the entire thing in 7 days using AI and got it running on Mac & Windows again. Would love your support 👇

@0xPaulius lkjds;lkfjdsa;kfj;dsajfjdsa;flkkj

so... u too?

Claude Code helped me write audio engine code precise enough for seamless 1/32 beat loops. Solo dev. No team. Just me and an Claude Code @claudeai that actually understands low level audio timing.

@VadimStrizheus same bro... lol lk;fjlkjdsalkfjdsj;lkajdsfl

CLAUDE IS CRASHING AND NOT WORKING FOR ME what am I supposed to do?
