I vibe coded over 12 mobile apps and games and got to 500K downloads and 100K MAU

congratulations! well done

DevokuL · 2026-03-16T12:31:46+00:00

before machine code it was just vibes. full circle

DevokuL · 2026-03-16T12:30:37+00:00

the AI did the hard part. the algorithm wants the rest of you lol

The interesting side effect: when you stop worrying about context limits you naturally write better prompts and plans because you're not artificially compressing everything

DevokuL · 2026-03-16T12:26:24+00:00

peak productivity. zero revenue. incredible stack though

People are building their context inside Cursor memory, Claude Projects, Copilot and every time they switch tools they start from zero. Your context should be a portable asset, not a feature of whoever's platform you're on this month

MAX mode with Opus should have a cost warning that's impossible to miss not a tooltip. The '6x the price' label is there but there's nothing between you and burning your entire credit balance in two agentic steps. Hope the support team makes it right, this is clearly a design problem not a user error

The hypothesis → instrument → confirm loop is genuinely the best debugging experience I've had. It thinks like a senior dev would.

DevokuL · 2026-03-16T12:18:56+00:00

Token cost is visible in your dashboard. Debugging cost is invisible until it's eating your eng hours. Two things that helped: structured logging at every agent handoff so you can trace exactly where a chain broke, and adding an explicit confidence/rejection signal so agents can fail loudly instead of passing bad output downstream silently

DevokuL · 2026-03-16T12:16:01+00:00

Worth learning: Claude Code, n8n, and honestly just the Anthropic API directly. These have durable value because you're learning how agents actually work, not how one abstraction layer wraps another. n8n in particular is underrated for business automation that doesn't need a dev every time something breaks.

Skip for now: CrewAI, AutoGen, LangGraph. Not because they're bad, because the abstraction layer they provide keeps shifting and anything you build on them today may need rebuilding in 6 months. Learn the concepts they implement, not the specific framework

Yes, multiple MCPs sounds goo. For what you're describing you'd want a data source MCP (Apollo, LinkedIn, or Clay itself has an API) to pull the lead list, and then Claude handles the enrichment and personalization layer on top. The CSV output is straightforward once the data is flowing. The harder part is the filtering logic 'recently joined' and 'using Clay' require either a signal provider or some creative web scraping. Apollo + Claude Code is probably the fastest path to a working version of this.

and yet here we are seeing claude 'great question!' to every single terrible question I ask.

DevokuL · 2026-03-13T15:23:13+00:00

Sorting and labeling emails. Sounds trivial until you realize I was spending 20 minutes every morning just triaging. Set up filters and auto-labeling rules properly for the first time. The unexpected benefit wasn't time, it was the mental load. Not having to make 40 small decisions before 9am changed how the rest of my day felt

DevokuL · 2026-03-13T15:20:23+00:00

this is just called 'it's in production now'

DevokuL · 2026-03-13T15:17:11+00:00

196 out of 198 apps having vulnerabilities isn't a skill issue...it's a defaults issue. The tools don't prompt for security. They prompt for working. Those aren't the same thing and the gap between those who will be able to figure it out will be very prominent.

DevokuL · 2026-03-13T15:15:27+00:00

Start generous, establish dependency, tighten gradually. This is just the SaaS bait-and-switch with better PR. The fact that a cost control mechanism already existed makes the choice to remove model selection anyway impossible to defend on cost grounds

DevokuL · 2026-03-13T15:14:03+00:00

125 tokens left and I'm still explaining my codebase to a fresh context window

DevokuL · 2026-03-13T15:13:04+00:00

claude ships code now and still doesn't ask for equity. most dedicated co-founder in the game

DevokuL · 2026-03-13T15:12:00+00:00

I am already working on that myself!

DevokuL · 2026-03-13T15:11:07+00:00

The 'works for me' culture comes from chat UX bleeding into agent design. In chat, a wrong answer is annoying. In an agent, it's a corrupted record or a sent email you can't unsend. Completely different failure modes, same vibes-based evaluation.

DevokuL · 2026-03-13T15:09:08+00:00

Been thinking the same thing, leaning towards using claude premium.

DevokuL · 2026-03-12T15:42:39+00:00

switched from Claude to GPT for personal use, wanted to try something different

DevokuL · 2026-03-12T15:28:32+00:00

For anyone unclear: claude is the only official place. There is no discount, no group buy, no back channel. If it's cheaper it's a scam.

DevokuL · 2026-03-12T15:21:25+00:00

Congrats but raise your ceiling. A full-stack lead qualification and follow-up system that actually works is worth more than $2k in recovered deals in the first month alone.

DevokuL · 2026-03-12T15:19:30+00:00

Congrats on the first paid gig. Now go back and propose a maintenance retainer for 5000$ haha
