@PrajwalTomar_ AI can also generate privacy policy and most of the items on that list. It should become a button click.

Vibe coders are getting sued. People are launching apps with real users but skipping the boring stuff that can actually kill the product. A developer with 20+ years of experience just shared the pre-launch checklist every AI builder should run: → privacy policy if you collect user data → know where user data is stored → check security headers → scan against OWASP basics → look for SQL injection / XSS / auth issues → make sure .env values are not leaking → check API responses for sensitive data → remove secrets from logs → never expose API keys in frontend code → move keys server-side or behind a proxy → add rate limits before someone burns your API bill This is what most vibe coders are missing. AI can help you build the app. But if you launch without security, privacy, and abuse checks... you didn't ship a product. you shipped a liability.

@paraschopra AI will train the next generation :)

AI is automating interns/early stage jobs first as they require least amount of domain knowledge. If this means that experienced folks will start managing a fleet of AI agents instead of early-career professionals, who is going to train the next generation?

@lennysan Anyone can be anything. And, noone needs permission to become anything anymore.

Engineers don't write code. PMs are shipping to production. The design process is dead (there's no time). Marketing can ship their own campaigns. SDRs are being replaced by AI. Everyone's a data scientist now. What a time to be alive.

@RomanEcom @MentorPass What do they use for checkout? Stripe?

Another bear case on $SHOP Talked to a founder on @MentorPass yesterday who’s done ~$45M TTM and is projecting $100M+ run rate with an AI-first approach. Duo-channel business: - Native ads - Google Ads Zero Meta. Zero AppLovin. The reason he’s growing so fast? He’s not on Shopify. He runs everything on a Medusa-like headless solution built on Next.js (blanking on the exact name). His rationale was simple: 1/ Seamless plug-and-play with Claude 2/ Can spin up landing pages + localization insanely easily (he launches hundreds of products per month) 3/ Way more iterations, flexibility, and speed vs Shopify Cost wasn’t even the deciding factor (though it’s much cheaper than a full $SHOP stack). This is becoming the new normal. Pretty crazy to watch. If I had the courage I’d switch Linjer tomorrow — our catalog management and especially localization is an absolute nightmare on Shopify compared to what this guy had. But we're growing a lot this year and I don't want to disrupt the train.

This is the Youtube moment for app development. For everyone who’s mocking non-technical people for “vibe coding” apps in production, imagine mocking hobbyists making Youtube videos 10 years ago - a skill that was limited (and gate-kept) by only professional videographers. I understand the complexity and risk of maintaining an app is greater than that of a shipped video. But, just like traditional TV didn’t get replaced by Youtube channels, similarly vibe-coded apps can create an alternate universe of apps without replacing “processionally developed apps”.

@ilshadyX @PawelHuryn Why? Still better than delayed regrets.

@PawelHuryn Faster builds & faster regrets

Everyone argues whether AI can really write code, copy or design, as if execution is still the moat. Guess what. It's not. Across every knowledge work domain, execution is collapsing to zero. Two groups are loud. One built careers and status on being the person who could execute. They're protecting a position that's disappearing. Most AI-sceptic posts are just that, dressed up as principle. The other loves craft and worries speed killed it. I take them seriously. But craft didn't die. It moved upstream. From typing to deciding. The moat moved. It's taste now. Knowing what's worth making, knowing when it's done, what to cut, what questions to ask. And how few days you need to execute like an "expert."

Indeed. People, in all job functions, got too comfortable with templates and frameworks. Look at all the recruiter rejection emails - they all look the same. Look at all the PM frameworks - they all sound the same. Look at the engineering boilerplates & libraries, and the best-practices in design. They all are copies of each other. Every app became a copy of each other at various layers of depth. No wonder AI got really good at copying our templates. If we don’t break out of the frameworks and templates, there’s very little value add.

i've been saying that automation is coming for 99% of dev jobs since 2017, before the words ai and llm were in daily rotation. why? because most devs and designers are mediocre and are just copying eachother, writing garbage code, and creating average designs. they find shortcuts, cheat, just to get minimal amount of work done and do nothing. they actually hate work, meetings, getting orders from someone etc. remote workers are MASTERS at actually avoiding work and getting paid. this is simply how most ppl in it want to live. i am getting ZERO out of repeating that, it's actually a net negative for me because most people don't want to hear it, and they want to shoot the messenger. unfollow, block, no, shut up man, L, blah. whether i'm right or wrong, if you listen to me, you prepared on time and pivoted to another income source and your family can survive the next few decades. but ppl who tell you "ai is dumb don't worry kitten it's a bubble trust me just keep living the same and everything will be fine" actually make revenue from saying that and turning it into their personality. because people WANT to hear that and someone to lie to them and reassure them that everything will be fine. and if they are wrong (which they are) they'll just do the homer simpson in a bush gif one day, while you'll have to figure out wtf to do with your life the writing cannot be more on the wall, it's literally in our faces 24/7. i am begging you to compare what we had 3 years ago to now. you can just choose whether to believe or be completely delusional. so choose carefully ✌️

@starter_story @thepatwalls You’re able to get deep work done at the airport? I am impressed. Actually, it may even be one of the most productive places to work.

Who's getting their 2 hours of deep work in today?

@Mattihcq1 @qualtrim Does it matter if people are still paying for it? It’s like saying - no ever made real friends on Facebook. People pay to be entertained (or not be bored) on Facebook, Duolingo, etc.

@qualtrim Love the app but i don’t see how anyone is actually learning a new language on it

Duolingo in a snapshot. - Subscription Revenue: +28% YoY - Paid Subscribers: +20.7% YoY - MAUs: +5.84% YoY - DAUs: +21% YoY $DUOL

@themgmtconsult A “job” doesn’t have to be the default economic state. “Founder” is someone who sells something of value - and that has existed for ages. We should all learn how to hunt for ourselves.

Founder-as-a-Service: you can't get a job so you "run a start-up" instead. This is the new economy.

@amasad Do you have plans to launch a Replit <> Shopify integration? It can really help small businesses reimagine their ecommerce.

We treat Replit, inc as customer number zero of Replit. It goes beyond mere "dogfooding." We expect our usage to have insane ROI. This is an example:

@jacobrodri_ Killer idea

$100k app idea: a travel app where every place you visit adds a trophy to your collection

If someone desires to do artisan coding just because they enjoy writing code by hand, no one’s stopping them, just like no one stops an artist from creating art. It’s a free world. But, the purpose of a “job” is to get the job done for the business to make money so it can then pay salaries. Money doesn’t grow on trees. And, whatever makes it more efficient to make money will often be adopted to pay the bills. It applies to individuals and organizations, unless they have an abundant supply of money.

what’s interesting is that as coding becomes less enjoyable, less people will be doing it. this used to be a highly rewarding, highly stimulating field. now it’s laboring at the slop factory. if you manage to hold on to your dignity your job is probably safe, even lucrative.

@uxkosta He’s selling narratives the same way he’s accusing others of selling narratives

this guy is making a living by singing you a lullaby on how your job is safe

@uxkosta Hope is the best drug out there

By making extreme statements like “AI is not working for anyone”, and “the top person on the leaderboard is reviewing zero code” - you’re perpetuating similar exaggerated narratives like Dario but on the other end. “Speaking the truth” here simply means pandering to your AI-skeptic audience. That ecosystem really enjoys this narrative. ^

The real reason they keep saying AI will take your job

the 5 stages of ai grief since Claude Design launched, designers are grappling with the same existential recoil as when engineers first saw ai could code. the process maps to the stages of grief. 1. denial. "but design is more than just producing designs." engineers said the same thing. "coding is more than just writing code." both true. 2. anger. look how bad the output is. look at the people shipping slop. look at the execs who don't understand what we actually do. 3. bargaining. it's just a tool. i'll use it for the boring parts and focus on the strategic work. the craft is safe if i stay in charge of it. 4. depression. i can't believe i used to do all of this by hand. all those hours. all that time. 5. acceptance. i understand the nuance better than ever. i'm still the architect. and now i can actually build the thing. as a software engineer and designer of 25+ years, i've watched this cycle from both sides. the designers grieving now are where engineers were 18 months ago. when our core competency is threatened, we’re quick to defend what’s unique about it, romanticize it, and dig our heels in. what follow is a process of assimilation. i believe designers will eventually see Figma as an awfully archaic and cumbersome way to explore ideas. most designs already become interactive prototypes, so we'll just get there faster. much faster. in the end, taste and judgment is still what remains. creating successful work ultimately breaks down to a series of choices that add up to net value creation. those who win will continue to be involved in the most important choice-making, with a keen ability to discern between what choices are important for the human to make. think slow, move fast.

@BoringBiz_ This post sounds like a failure to sell, and not a failure to code better

People are waking up to the fact that AI is a complementary tool for your skill set, and not a complete replacement for a skill If you are already a good coder or writer, AI tools can enhance that skill and make you more productive But if you bad at it, AI is not going to magically solve your deficiency This is the primary reason why I think the fears around AI replacement of labor are overblown
