@kensavage @NanoBanana @icreatelife Maybe there's a pro+pro version you need to subscribe to.😂

I use @NanoBanana to build graphics for my site but they all have a watermark in them. Why? I pay for the pro version. Why can’t I use the graphics without a watermark? I wonder if @icreatelife knows?

@javilopen Yeah, saw a scrum project on hourspent marketplace so clients are still hiring scrum masters but the demand is extremely low.

So... next question: someone out there still doing SCRUM? 🤣 Say hi if you are a Scrum Master!

Serious question: Is there any programmer left in the room still coding the traditional way, character by character, without using AI? If so, why? Explain your reasoning.

@djradio Still looking for a web developer? I'm one. My DM is open.

@kensavage Inner peace by Master Shifu.

The most underrated Reddit skill is knowing when not to engage.

@BenjaminDEKR My whole work life revolves around software, systems, AI models, and automations. That's exactly why I don’t want any of it bleeding into my life outside of work. So nope thank you, I'd prefer to have people help me check in even if they're Karens.

What is the point of hotel check-in desk people anymore? Why isn't this 100% automated? Verify your ID, pay, get entry code. Why are humans still doing this?

The most annoying part is that I never wrote that. Even the <div class="info center"> I wrote, it never exist there. At this point, I'd be faster than AI if I work on this file manually.

@kensavage @searchbound $10? A client bought .ai domain for over $200.

@searchbound Starting a new company and I wanted to buy the .com but it’s taken and the guy will sell it to me for $60,000. But the .AI is available to buy for 10 bucks.

you don't even have to buy expired domains from auctions; oftentimes they're inspiration for industries that you'd never uncover otherwise: ex: this expired domain then I discover there's marketplace for buying/selling used stairlifts 😍

@RicoSmith_ You really had the guts to prove her wrong? Enjoy your spot on the couch tonight.

At an airbnb, wife says the kettle isn’t working. Walk over and just press the power button a little harder. Works. I’ll enjoy sleeping on the couch tonight 🤣

@kensavage But money answereth all things

people ask if they can just buy a high karma reddit account and post links. short answer: please don't. redditors have a sixth sense for "corporate cosplay." if the history doesn't match the vibe, you're dead. authority is earned, not bought. be human first.

@ViralManager Not everyone of us. Check my post to see my rants.

Wow hiring has really opened my eyes to why developers arent getting jobs You guys rely on AI way too much and it all looks like slop to me I dont care if you use AI but its very clear you have no system backing your decisions.

@JoaoZorro @Prathkum Mind updating us when you FINISH building?

Fair point. I’m not even a dev. For me, it’s not about being 2x or 10x faster. It’s simply the fact that I’m able to build something at all. I’m trying to solve a real problem in my real estate fix and flip business, so I decided to build an app to help me manage the whole renovation process. I used Claude Code to design the architecture of the app and Codex to actually build it. It’s not finished yet, but I can share a screenshot.

Everyone is talking about writing code 10x faster with AI. Very few are showing the products they shipped 10x faster.

@AlextheYounga You forgot the part it does it with so much confidence. 😂

It's actually closer to someone repeatedly telling you 2 + 2 = 4.2. It's enough to notice it constantly. Here's an example of GPT 5.4 creating a fake Python program to test instead of testing the Rust code I asked it to. No guardrails prevent this level of obfuscation.

The only way I can explain what it's like coding with LLMs is that it's very much like a brainwashing routine. It's constant paranoia. If there is any brain damage occurring from their usage, it's because of this. It's like someone persistently telling you 2 + 2 = 4.02. It's these extremely subtle imperfections that make you feel like you're going insane, because you know code is perfect by definition, but suddenly it doesn't feel that way. Like if someone snuck in your house in the middle of the night and moved everything over 1 inch to the left.

@DanutPralea @fhinkel Exactly how I manage humans too

@fhinkel "loop engineering enforces it through recursion" is a fancy way of saying "just keep asking until it works" which is also how i manage humans

People complain that LLMs are unreliable. That’s a skill issue. You’re treating a probabilistic engine like a calculator and getting mad when it hallucinates. Vibe Coding expects perfection from a single call. Loop Engineering enforces it through recursion. You achieve determinism through verification loops. * Call the model. * Verify the schema. * If it fails, inject the error and retry. * Repeat until valid.

First time I'm calling AI a darling. 😂 But honestly, there's absolutely no way I'd get this right with zero coding experience. Maybe it could help me spin up a quick MVP, but definitely not something this complex that I’m revamping for a client.

How do vibe coders actually pull this off? My only edge is that I knew coding before AI, so anything it confidently suggests that’s off, I just ignore it. But with vibecoders....

@jeffgaming99 Still looking for an app dev?

@ThinkAppraiser From what I understood, the company got acquired for around $2M in cash which the VC took. Then the rest of the payout was in stock(not good stock) from the acquiring company, with a multi-year vesting schedule... something along those lines.

@ThinkAppraiser I can't remember the exact way he broke it down, but it sounded like one of those, "Roscoe… maybe stick to what you're good at" type explanations lol.

I don’t know anything about building and selling tech companies, but the numbers fascinate me In a typical software company acquisition in Silicon Valley that has say eight founders and 30 employees that takes on debt and raises money to grow and then gets acquired for let’s say $100 million. How much would the founders typically walk away from cash in their pocket after everything was said and done. Just in general as like a rule of thumb Can anybody help me with some rough numbers?

@rossiadam @ThinkAppraiser Or split $0

@ThinkAppraiser Eight founders probably split $10M WAG
