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
@CyprienRb The best way to validate is to observe peopleโs actions and the highest fidelity way to do that is by launching. If youโre 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.
@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
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
@SullyOmarr some types of moats (data, network effects) feel more important than ever since the software alone can be replicated quite easily/affordably
@SullyOmarr 100%. Knowing how software works still feels important but eventually thatโll be abstracted away where folks completely outside of the software world can make software too.
@sonny8s@gregisenberg Right now there are different UX patterns for agents (eg flow diagram) but itโs 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
@PrajwalTomar_ Iteration is key. A lot of folks ship a first version and discard it if it doesnโt get traction but in reality their initial version gets the โminimumโ part while forgetting the โviableโ part
