I work with non-tech founders who want to launch in 60 days or less without learning to code

@itmeolliev @DorianDevelops Oh yeahhh… gotta watch again. I really enjoyed that movie

[Brian Jenney @YourCodeCoach]

@ChShersh They say that’s a lucky number!

[Brian Jenney @YourCodeCoach]

@DorianDevelops YW! I love that movie.

Imagine you have thousands of docs like a bunch of catalogs or product pages. A vector search takes milliseconds and costs next to nothing. Having an agent potentially check over those thousand files for a match could take a lot of tokens and time and the larger it grows the worse the performance and token cost

@ManiishSharma_ excellent idea - thanks for the suggestion 🤝

[Brian Jenney @YourCodeCoach]

I've worked with 3 founders in the last 6 months who made some pretty damn good vibe coded apps. These 5 things would've saved them a lot of time and money https://t.co/lV6LDesRF3

[Brian Jenney @YourCodeCoach]

So you guys think normal people are really building personal software like that eh?

I truly wonder whether X users have any friends or family sometimes 🙏

[Brian Jenney @YourCodeCoach]

@ManiishSharma_ I could’ve made this list a lot longer honestly but I didn’t add those! No logs or rate limits was killing me in the last project 🤦‍♂️- I need a part 2 now

[Brian Jenney @YourCodeCoach]

@0xAifred sometimes in prod too 😅

[Brian Jenney @YourCodeCoach]

@jacobAlswin Oddly enough, I've spoken to more people in the last couple months who want to learn to code than in the previous 12. I don't want to over-extrapolate tho cuz I'm certainly not coding shit anymore except for funsies

[Brian Jenney @YourCodeCoach]

@johncrickett Interviews feel like they pace ~5 years behind actual work reality. Not much incentive for them to change it either.

[Brian Jenney @YourCodeCoach]

Worked with 3 founders this year to help save and/or ship their vibe coded apps.

Way more fun than I imagined and the challenges have been interesting:

- One was not using Git and instead allowing agents to write directly on the box
- Another skipped using frameworks and had a MASSIVE html/css/js file that did in fact "work"
- Agents that basically relied on regex to determine intent
- No observability or tests in any of them

What's worse is that there are shady contractors who take advantage of these people and charge outrageous prices to further slop-ify the codebases.

I'll be writing a lot more about how founders can avoid these pitfalls going forward.

@themishra4402 I mean, I feel you, but many are building stuff people pay for rather than cool shit to nerd out on

[Brian Jenney @YourCodeCoach]

All my AI predictions were wrong...

Vibe code clean up specialist is a real thing. I somehow became one.
MCP is honestly really useful. I dismissed this way too early.
Turns out you can 10x. I'm honestly close.
Harness engineering is difficult and valuable.
The models did get cheaper.

Follow me for more failed predictions.

@theo Doomsday scenarios where they “act” independently to kill all humans. There’s a very popular YT channel that makes this content non-stop
