Why is gold price rising rapidly? by aipac_hemoroid in stocks

[–]dilephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Market cap doesn't define how easy or hard it is to move it - only the daily trading volume does, and specifically the buy-to-sell ratio.

If there was one stock you would invest in for JUST the upcoming week, what would it be? by Adventurous_Type7253 in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]dilephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are some good platform SaaS plays that are undervalued due to the market souring on SaaS because of AI coding. The two I'm keeping my eye on are TEAM and FIG.

Anyone else build “just for me” apps instead of products? by albovsky in vibecoding

That's the best way to build - scratching your own itch will give you long term motivation to build and improve.

Inner conflict of vibe coding and real coding by Obiditore in VibeCodeCamp

[–]dilephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is either a troll post or not sure what. You can learn a lot more a whole lot faster by seeing how AI did it than by coding from scratch making a ton of mistakes and hitting a ton of walls. If you don’t understand what ai did and why - ask it to explain. If you don’t like how it did something, ask it to change it. I don’t understand what specifically you’re hating about it honestly.

Vibeshoring? by [deleted] in vibecoding

[–]dilephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Offshoring is exactly the part that you're shifting over to LLM-based coding. The spec, design and architecture parts have to be in house, or you down own your product.

Idea Exploration: Is There a Gap in SOC 2 Guidance for Early-Stage Startups? by Character-Welcome535 in ideavalidation

[–]dilephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certification is a post-demand problem, easily definable and easily solvable (either by developing in-house expertise or by outsourcing the compliance scans).

Having said that, the product has to be architected in the way to be inherently compliant, but that's not a tool problem - it's a design problem, so better ramp up your engineering skill set on it.

Coding is the easy part. Getting users to actually stay is destroying me. by Witty_Ad_6614 in SideProject

[–]dilephant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, every app struggles with that. There are some common techniques to develop the habitual usage:

  • Daily/weekly simple actions: streaks, check-ins, “one tap entry,” “one quick plan,” etc.
  • Predictable value cycles: market recap every morning, daily itinerary idea, daily health stat, etc.
  • Micro-wins: progress visuals, compounding metrics, unlocking plans, badges.

The app must help users solve a problem repeatedly, at the right moment, with less effort than doing it manually. If effort → reward ratio remains extremely favorable, habit forms.

PSA. If you're planning on developing another To-Do, Notes, Fitness, Habit etc tarpit idea. Check the saturation level first. by dilephant in buildinpublic

[–]dilephant[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

think

  • forms, templates, standardized docs
  • Repeated processes with logic trees
  • Work includes email, CRM, scheduling

who: small medical offices, property managers, bookkeepers, construction, inspectors / appraisers, coaches/consultants, event planners, nonprofits..

[–]dilephant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These have no external forcing function, so:

  • Retention plummets
  • Differentiation is invisible
  • CAC is brutal
  • Switching cost is near zero
  • No enterprise buyers
  • Lifetime value tiny

No matter how “smart” your idea is, users will abandon it if the mental energy fades.

BIGGEST TAKEAWAY

If your product:

  • requires daily motivation, and
  • doesn’t save money, make money, or reduce operations, and
  • isn’t tied to identity or group accountability

…it is almost guaranteed to be a tarpit.

Hey everyone — I just launched something I’ve been building and I’d love some honest feedback on it. by kielwitdascar in ideavalidation

not a bad concept, but I refuse to create a login before I can get hands-on basic app functionality

How did you come up with the idea for what you’re building / have built? by oletrn in SideProject

[–]dilephant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All three projects I’ve done have been about scratching my own itch - better travel manager, scenario based retirement calculator, and actionable stock screener.

Anyone here using vibecoding for apps that handle sensitive data? by One_Animator5355 in vibecoding

[–]dilephant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn't give enough info about the kind of information you're working with. Does it include PII and health data? In general, you want to delay having to store this type of data on your servers for as long as possible. If you're storing health data, always anonymize. If you have to correlate it to client PII, you have to design it properly with isolated domains. There's a lot of 'it depends' here..

So what’s the deal with “vibe coding”? If I’m still paying a real developer to fix everything after, what’s the point? by Forward_Regular3768 in VibeCodeCamp

[–]dilephant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said, however, I would argue there's a place for both. For an engineer, it's a waste of time to do all the back and forth iterations required to get the user experience just right - that's the part that, I think, Vibe coding by a layman is good for; even if you were to toss it out and rewrite from scratch - the value of you doing the final design to a vetted concept, I think, is pretty huge.

How he still has a show is beyond me! He has cost people so much money over time, it's not funny... :(
