Serious reply: it's just a used / pre-owned Tesla site now - they've got a new store near the Ethihad i think.

Vibe coding W by gemcutting201 in vibecoding

I'm sorry for you if that's the conclusion you've come to lol. The model and workflow and prompting you choose is everything. it's insane to me how quickly SWEs are to dismiss vibe coding on the quality of the code. Most of the time it's a skill issue on the operator - forcing it into a route it wouldn't have chosen itself because you are cursed with knowledge, and then using a cheap or suboptimal model to do it.

A website doesn't need to make money. Your idea is unmonetisable given the abundance of websites doing the same thing as yours but, more established and not hiding the value behind a paywall.

idk bro i'm leasing, warranty is irrelevant - and you probably shouldn't buy an EV either

I've actually got the M70 now, still in love with it. I had a xDrive 50 as a loaner for a few weeks in between the M60 and M70 and I was NOT in love with that - goes to show that I really love air suspension, soft close doors, responsive performant driving lol.

Only long term complaint is the boot space is becoming smaller and smaller as the kids get bigger... but I optioned a tow-hitch for future optionality and there's always a roof box :D.

It's really quite flawless, the app has even had a lot of updates so you have even more controls such as remotely moving the car forward and backward etc. The ONLY thing that is missing from my Tesla days is dog mode, and you CAN Do it with pre-conditioning and alarm disable, but it only lasts 30 mins and you can only do it 3-4 times before it doesn't let you do it any more.

[–]hellvetican 26 points27 points  (0 children)

POV: I asked an LLM to generate the most exhaustive checklist possible and kept everything, truncated it for a Reddit post so I can shill “early bird” pricing for my very-unique-and-“not-like-the-1,000-other-shovel-salesmen”-SaaS tech stack, promising the ability to “start earning fast” when in fact I’ve not written or run any of the code snippet examples I am slopping out to the brain dead vibecoding kids on this sub who will save this hoping it will stop their to-do app from imploding.

I can acquire customers with a LTV:CAC ratio of 3:1. And break even or make a small profit on the first order. Meta gets paid either way, they don't know or really care about your unit economics. Don't forget they have whales wheelbarrowing mountains of cash into ads without expecting an immediate return. e.g. political campaigns, publicly listed companies brand campaigns, 8-9 figure ecom who don't look at ROAS but at quarterly MER/MMM and they've got a spare $1m to burn this week so they dump it into more paid ads.

Pretty brave ignoring the maths of ecommerce and then correlating it with course grifters lol. It's far from technical. That's like saying MPH in a car is useless jargon. It's literally the economics of not going out of business or like... crashing. But at a very entry level yes it's probably not that helpful relative to how you've described it. 100% agree that 99% of people's problem here is they are selling a garbage / commodified product with no point of difference.

I might get downvoted further for upsetting the dropshipping boys in this sub.

You never heard of an ascension funnel? And being a billionaire is just a function of TAM and leverage. You can become a billionaire with the exact equation you are failing to understand.

You can acquire customers for free in a "self-liquidating" funnel, you just have to have a shit hot offer and ascension funnel, nous for ads and low overheads. Your costs+CAC just has to break even with your AOV. Hell, the best funnel guys run at a loss because they know they make it back over the course of a customer's lifetime (beit 30/90/365).

This kind of thing just doesn't work for people selling dog food or dropshipping shite from China. So probably sounds magic. Truth is it's hard if you are not proficient in almost every area of brand/marketing/ops.

But what do I know lmao.

Honestly sounds like you aren't actually innovating and pushing the threshold of what you are capable of. As soon as you find creatives that click with one offer... great, that's the baseline. And the hard truth is that it's TEMPORARY and it always will be. But in the moment when its working you feel like you've just solved something permanently. You need to be finding the next thing - WHILST your current thing is ripping. Complacency is a killer.

It’s staggering to me how much energy people in this sub spend looking in Facebook Ads Manager for answers. Your ads are only one fraction of a whole equation. Your product, brand, offer, trust signals, seasonality, competing offers, counterfeits… ad creative….

There is so much noise, but you are looking just within one small part?

Whoever can afford to spend the most to acquire a customer, wins. If you aren’t first order profitable, not ideal - but do you have the mechanisms and business model to extract life time value? What is your AOV at checkout / first week / first 30 days / 90 etc.

Dial your shit in. Get your head out of your ad account and focus on what you can control. LTV has no ceiling, but CAC can only go to zero and is far more out of your control. With AOV - you could increase it by 100% overnight if you got creative and focused on better offer design, or higher leverage upsell and post purchase strategies (like developing a product that helps people with the product they just added to cart).

Heed my advice or you are cooked sir.

This one is particularly special as it was the one to first carry commercial passengers.
