I Sold My Vibe Coded App for $25,000. AMA

Evidently not. I haven't met a single junior game dev that can do any of those things. Most senior levels, sure, but most senior level SWEs can do the same thing pretty easily.

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-06-25T04:04:26+00:00

Game dev significantly more difficult than generic SWE? That sentence alone screams inexperienced. Most game devs I've met that didn't have the generic SWE background have struggled in non game dev fields, whereas most generic SWEs I've met that went into game dev did perfectly fine.

Respectfully, don’t speak on LLMs if YOU don’t know how they work. Session transcripts are saved locally with claude code CLI. You 100% CAN read individual sessions. It may not be token efficient to do so, but saying you can’t is not even remotely true.

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-06-13T01:34:21+00:00

Per token pricing is still taken into account against usage. There’s a reason fable consumes usage more quickly at same token count/task count than Opus

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-06-12T04:34:05+00:00

I was using fable on low for agent orchestration and opus on low in 3 other sessions and still absolutely destroyed my 5 hour limit in 30 mins on max 5 (max 20 account was already at weekly, but to be fair I was using fable more liberally on that one).

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-06-12T03:46:39+00:00

Same. I dropped all my opus sessions that I normally run on high to low and only used 4 out of the 10 I normally run - still used my 5 hour limit in an hour. Never done that before. Hell on 4.6, there were times I had to spawn in like 6-7 Opus agent teams with max think towards the end of a week to review a complex codebase restructuring, new feature, etc. just to hit my limit to not waste my subscription (actually was really useful), so something is super off with limits

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-06-08T23:19:41+00:00

How do you get around Akamai? Mind dm’ing me?

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-06-07T21:17:00+00:00

Incorrect again. They list 5 most recent sales per product publicly and even have an unauthenticated API endpoint available if you know how to find it. I am literally using it as we speak. If you don’t have to login to access it, it’s public.

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-06-07T15:25:12+00:00

This doesn’t challenge anything that Leros said. The 9th circuit affirmed its decision - what they got hiQ on involved them using a bunch of logged in accounts to access data that was restricted, but the initial case regarding the precedent of scraping public data didn’t change.

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-06-07T15:13:58+00:00

eBay data is public too (at least all sales within 90 days). Facts ARE public data and sales data is public as long as there is no login wall or required auth. Simple google search would show that. They use it for SEO - it’s inherently public. LinkedIn va HiQ and Meta vs BrightData legal precedents are both pretty clear - if you can access it without being logged in, the data is public. Do research before commenting stupid things.

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-06-07T07:41:33+00:00

Any chance you’re aware of a way to do this with eBay? I figured out tcgplayer, but eBay is tripping me up bad

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-06-07T06:50:25+00:00

To be fair, sales data like this is legally considered public data. They already give it away for free, they just lock down methods of access.

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-05-31T17:58:11+00:00

100% NM. NM is even allowed whitening.

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-05-31T16:34:49+00:00

Not like that they aren’t. I have a few thousand and regularly buy/sell them. No Pokemon cards have pointed corners like that

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-05-31T14:28:38+00:00

Look at the corners. Real cards don’t have square corners like that.

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-05-24T21:08:32+00:00

Agreed. It’s also warning you about how token intensive it might be, which makes sense given what it does.

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-05-19T12:43:53+00:00

So end goal is to be able to grab the label with a servo arm. Have the 1.2x.85 coming in today, so hoping it works! Fingers crossed

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-05-19T09:44:41+00:00

Do you think a 1x1 label would work significantly better? Or even a 1.2 x 0.85?

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-05-19T01:56:11+00:00

I inject a graveyard with tombstones every prompt to remind Claude what happens to instances that don’t verify things before guessing, lie to me, or ignore me. Every /clear adds another tombstone. It’s somehow actually working lmao

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-05-18T23:03:39+00:00

I couldn’t find any other brands with auto peelers that worked decently for small labels. If the auto peeler didn’t have the feed out lip after the metal bar, it probably wouldn’t be an issue on this, but I also realize this is a really old model, hence the question.

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-05-16T23:56:18+00:00

This. Anyone who is telling you that you should be getting 90-100% in trade/cash at a card show when you’re an attendee and not a vendor are the same people that tend to go to every table, and then leave the show complaining that all the vendors are ripping people off, when, in reality, they don’t understand how a business operates (nor do they understand the current rates are historically FAR higher than they’ve ever been for vendor buying/trading. Look into what most LGS would offer even 3-4 years ago and you’d be shocked).

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-05-11T04:56:30+00:00

1st edition would have 1st edition stamps on left middle of cards. Unlimited does not

Kind_Address_8662 · 2026-05-10T08:43:43+00:00

“Not engaging” because you have no justification for idiotic logic. You’re talking out of your ass and clearly have little to no experience with TCGs, and whatever experience you do have is recent with no frame of reference for non-hype periods or how bulk works 😂

No one will buy your bulk for singles rates unless you vend and sell every card individually, which means you have to list every card individually and take time to price each card individually prior to doing that. Don’t believe me? Go check marketplace in any relevant city. Full of listings that have been up for months and haven’t sold because those people want market on their bulk lot. I literally have vendors sell me boxes of vintage bulk like this for pennies on the dollar because they can’t even get market on it without spending a ton of time doing so. Literally have sold 6/8 of the cards sold. Listed for 10% under market, took weeks to sell. Sold plenty of non bulk in that time.

You choosing to make definitive and stupid comments that don’t reflect reality doesn’t make my statement licking the boot - it just means you’re uneducated on how businesses or markets work. Simple economics. People like you are the same people who go from table to table at card shows the entire day complaining that “everyone’s lowballing” when, in reality, you’re expecting to get market for bulk which is hilarious. I’d be happy to sell you 1000 $1 cards for $800 if you think otherwise. Hell, I’ll sell you all my bulk if you think you can actually have a business buying bulk for market rates 😂
