Vibe coding is a game changer for kids to spark their interest and imagination with a quicker sense of progress. With that initial spark, a big part of it is just having the inspiration and a little help on understanding software to go deeper. Just the other week I posted tutorials on how to make your own Harry Potter trivia app

@tunguz @shl so true and yet hard for many to apply since learning before starting creates an illusion of progress and psychological safety.

@CyprienRb The best way to validate is to observe people’s actions and the highest fidelity way to do that is by launching. If you’re feeling demoralized, it might be worth trying to scope down the MVP. You can validate a lot by launching a landing page with an email capture.

@dvassallo Application layer feels like where a lot of the value capture is going to be

@SullyBillions Planning feels the most important. It’s like a rising tide that lifts all boats making coding, debugging, designing etc easier/better

@marclou @jackfriks What are some creative ways to get the initial word out?

[Brian Park @brianjohnpark]

@bentossell A vibe coder with the right specialization outside of making software can be pretty powerful. The domain knowledge plus the ability to build can unlock a lot of

@boringmarketer Marketers are best positioned to build for marketers. Nothing quite like building for yourself. It’s the ultimate edge.

[Brian Park @brianjohnpark]

@petergyang This is where knowing how software is made can save a lot of headache. Stuff like workflow is part of the learning curve.

[Brian Park @brianjohnpark]

@rauchg especially those that can clearly articulate those ideas in detail. clear and specific writing is incredibly high leveraged.

[Brian Park @brianjohnpark]

being able to sustain mundane work and keep showing up with the same enthusiasm is a big part of building something meaningful. its the less sexy work that can be inordinately impactful, but its not talked about because its frankly not exciting.

another reason why agents are so exciting: freeing up humans for the more creative/fulfilling work

[Brian Park @brianjohnpark]

@bentossell @Replit replit's credit based pricing feels limiting compared to cursor's as you're building out more complex things

[Brian Park @brianjohnpark]

@rileybrown_ai value here is only going to compound as agents get better and more apps are designed for agent interaction

[Brian Park @brianjohnpark]

@SullyOmarr some types of moats (data, network effects) feel more important than ever since the software alone can be replicated quite easily/affordably

[Brian Park @brianjohnpark]

@SullyOmarr 100%. Knowing how software works still feels important but eventually that’ll be abstracted away where folks completely outside of the software world can make software too.

[Brian Park @brianjohnpark]

@nathan_covey I’ve started asking if it’s the same issue to make sure I’m not going insane 😂

[Brian Park @brianjohnpark]

@sonny8s @gregisenberg Right now there are different UX patterns for agents (eg flow diagram) but it’s easy to miss out on a lot of nuance. If you can just share your screen, you can give the agent all the context without documenting each painstaking detail

[Brian Park @brianjohnpark]

@PrajwalTomar_ Iteration is key. A lot of folks ship a first version and discard it if it doesn’t get traction but in reality their initial version gets the “minimum” part while forgetting the “viable” part
