Vibe coding is crazy man.

Met a 16yr old making $500k a month with his vibe-coded SaaS he started 5 months ago.

I asked how he built so fast. He said he just asked ChatGPT for a prompt, pasted it into Claude Opus-4.7, and somehow the app worked first try

His goal is to get to $1M a month this year.

Entire business running through his Dad’s Stripe account.

His Firebase rules were basically public access with extra steps, user data got leaked, now he’s getting tried as an adult but the SaaS still printing though.

None of this happened btw.

AI will be fine.
Developers will be fine.
The bubble won’t.
If this thread annoys you, there’s a good chance you’re selling hype, not building.

We’ve seen this movie before.
The AI hype cycle is starting to look a lot like the dot-com bubble.
Different decade. Same exaggeration. Same red flags.

6/7
The loudest hype pushers usually fall into two groups:
- People cashing in on the bubble
- People who don’t understand the tech well enough to see the damage coming

@joeyyangggg I've been an android dev since 2012. My mantra when it comes to google dev products is "it's never going to be better, just hope it won't become worse"

@hamen @mygoo_fun Similar here. Have been an android dev since 2012, but for indie apps I use flutter always for mobile apps. Backend wise I used DenoJS until now, but have now started with using Go + Chi. More setup & development but the performance & resource drain are phenomenal in comparison.

This is the part no one wants to talk about.
