How I learned vibe coding backwards: algorithmic trading before the models were ready, after the same idea had already taken two teams and about $70K USD. Eventually the coder stopped being the bottleneck. Reality became the bottleneck. https://t.co/WR1NJIXspI

@666_Annaww Yeah but it's great when THAT was the biggest news story in town instead of 5 stabbings per day

@Jainadave_ Preach sista. Preach

@thejustinwelsh AI collapsed the cost of building, not the cost of knowing what deserves to exist. The scarce skill is closing the loop: find pain, ship proof, ask for money, kill or iterate. I’ve built enough beautiful systems nobody asked for to learn this properly.

@DavidOndrej1 Huge lifesaver. I can work from my beach house. Even in the city where you have "optic fiber" starlink outpreforms.

@BowTiedPassport I had a builder throw me completley off by speaking with a how you say....'urban' accent. People grew up in all kinds of places...

[Boris Giller @BorisGiller]

@KusimoTimileyi1 @kelvinbuildss Agreed, every medium to large company should own their full marketing stack so it's part of one ecosystem. CRM, Email Automation, Analysis and Ad management consolidation. All of these need to talk to each other and be accessible to your smartest agent via API.

[Boris Giller @BorisGiller]

@kelvinbuildss Well because the trend with SaaS appears to be that it get's swallowed up by the major AI Labs and rolled into the generalist agent capabilities... You could maybe make a short exit if you're lucky but long term it's trending unfavorably.

[Boris Giller @BorisGiller]

@Suhail Lobbying/PR is the best marketing. They just do advocacy work and get massive brand coverage. The kind of impressions/views that would cost millions. Plus they are positioning themselves as the self-regulating responsible operators pre-empting government overreach later.

[Boris Giller @BorisGiller]

@Jainadave_ This. But non ironcially...

[Boris Giller @BorisGiller]

@kelvinbuildss Not having such a head start as this person, but also questioning the future of paid apps. Sure you can make money in it now but is it worth investing in this long term trajectory...

[Boris Giller @BorisGiller]

Just like in the 90s evyone wants to be a famous wrapper...

90% of AI startups are just ChatGPT with a landing page and a subscription.

@sandislonjsak In Canada you'd have to take out a mortgage to bribe someone...

I just got inspired for the next party visualization project. Webcam based aura visualizer. I'll make mine blinkier and more neon and waaay fluffier.

Dashed lines radiate from the body like a dynamic vector field, syncing with each pose to form radial patterns.

Math visualization turning dance into geometry – parametric flow with discrete strokes in the studio. 2020.

[Boris Giller @BorisGiller]

@sandislonjsak yeah, ergonomic and you can adjust the angle so you're almost laying down.

[Boris Giller @BorisGiller]

Are we building what people need - or merely what AI makes easy to ship?

[Boris Giller @BorisGiller]

If someone can steal your whole business by hearing the idea, the idea was never your moat.

[Boris Giller @BorisGiller]

@sandislonjsak It's true in most cases. In my 20's I used to own a dating site. We didn't realize that the registration funnel had bugs for 80% of users and we spent a big chunk of our seed capital on a grand launch ad canoaugb. Traffic arrived, big part of it got wasted...

@Emmachuuks Thats premium ragebait right there. good one...
