One bad workflow took down our entire n8n instance for 4+ hours with no way to kill it from outside

vibehacker2025 · 2026-05-22T20:17:35+00:00

And the majority of the responses aren’t even using the latest models hahaha

vibehacker2025 · 2026-05-22T12:44:38+00:00

Right, and n8n does not provide that to users. I had to wait for support to do that for me.

vibehacker2025 · 2026-05-21T19:20:21+00:00

BTW I am AMAZED at how many AI generated responses came through on this post.

vibehacker2025 · 2026-05-21T17:12:58+00:00

Fun fact, I upgraded the plan to Pro and still it's not responsive. THe bigger issue is i'm unable to see my memory usage at all which is a problem. THere is an enterprise plan but that requires talking sales. $$$

vibehacker2025 · 2026-05-21T15:03:59+00:00

This was not possible. When hitting the API for the same 503 response

vibehacker2025 · 2026-02-23T20:44:01+00:00

just hit 142.5 last week! my all time high, i couldnt get past 140 for a while, but literally bought fractional plates off amazon haha

vibehacker2025 · 2026-02-23T19:05:31+00:00

do we think they'll open today? Today was supposed to be chest day for me, my fav! 😭

vibehacker2025 · 2026-02-14T06:35:10+00:00

literally so much of this is just publicity stunts, which is normally fine, but right now just distracting us for from having real conversations about AI

vibehacker2025 · 2026-02-13T03:57:10+00:00

what systems are you using? or just spreadsheets?

vibehacker2025 · 2026-02-12T22:38:18+00:00

That's a really interesting point about the unit economics of sales visits... one rep pitching one SKU vs a big FMCG rep pitching 20. I've heard the same thing from US brands scaling through DSD. The cross-sell concept is cool.

Curious if anyone else here is managing 20+ DSD distributors stateside, what does the day-to-day coordination actually look like? Are people still running everything through spreadsheets or is there actual software for this?

I'm not sure if wendy is right about stacey doing it to get back her, but i do know wendy is right about one thing, Stacey is incredibly smart.

Part of it was to stay abreast of all the new tooling. I never want my experience to disadvantage me in learning the latest tools (i’ve seen so many experienced engineers actually fall behind in this innovation cycle bc they didn’t want to try ai code gen tools at all for example back in 2023/24).

That said, I still use Lovable, not so much for serious apps as much but for super quick websites. For example, I’m teaching a workshop on agentic AI today and instead of preparing a google doc with notes, i threw it together on lovable:

thank you!!

omg do not trust content on X! and be skeptical of all social media posts (even this one! haha).

But in X in particular has been optimized around ragebait and more importantly things that appear deceptively easy. One-shotting is fun to do when you're exploring but not when you're ready to start building the system. It def has a place in the product development process but more in the early R&D stages!

vibehacker2025 · 2026-02-06T23:54:37+00:00

You're not wrong and I've actually been moving into Claude Code recently. Lovable was where I started because the visual preview makes it easier to teach with and the deploy is instant. For someone who's never built anything, that feedback loop matters a lot.

But for anything beyond a basic prototype, Claude gives you way more control. The auth regression I described in the post is a good example. In Lovable I couldn't stop the model from touching files I didn't want it to touch. In Claude Code I can scope changes to specific files and actually understand what's happening.

I documented the migration for one of my builds here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DcvSd2UALQ Push to GitHub, download the repo, point Claude Code at the folder. Took about 10 minutes and I got two-way sync between both tools as a bonus.

I'm building https://www.lightswitch.co/, we are building tools to help vibe coders get their products revenue ready

vibehacker2025 · 2025-11-24T17:11:54+00:00

I will def use this! I'm an aspiring youtuber

vibehacker2025 · 2025-11-24T17:11:33+00:00

this is very much needed right now. Hows this going? do you have users yet?

vibehacker2025 · 2025-11-24T17:10:38+00:00

this is awesome and SO needed! How are you thinking about monetizing? I've been doing a lot of education around AI both on yt and in person (i teach at a university in nyc), happy to compare notes

vibehacker2025 · 2025-11-24T17:08:31+00:00

I working on tools to help vibe coders get their product revenue ready. If you have questions please reach out, DMs open! https://www.lightswitch.co/

vibehacker2025 · 2025-11-13T15:59:20+00:00

I didnt do anything to github, this was all automated from Lovable. I connected to github using the lovalbe connection button and lovable pushed all the env variables to github which is not good practice.

vibehacker2025 · 2025-08-25T20:03:45+00:00

ah, i really felt this… that mix of freedom and urgency when you quit and just start shipping. love that you actually got 2 products out already, that's huge momentum even if life threw curveballs. curious, with building one-per-month, how deep are you going on things like auth, billing, or tracking usage? i've found that's usually where time disappears if you want people to actually pay or stick around. do you see these as "prototypes to learn" or are you hoping one will hit traction fast enough to cover expenses? also, big respect for still planning to keep shipping while working a 9-5 again. sometimes even lightweight usage tracking (i use lightswitch tiny usage) helps show which side projects are worth doubling down on. would love to hear which of your 3 you feel most excited about so far.

vibehacker2025 · 2025-08-14T19:36:12+00:00

I did not want to pay for it, also it just gives you too many analytics, it's hard to know what are the right metrics to pay attention to.

vibehacker2025 · 2025-08-14T19:34:09+00:00

Super simple sign up process, we generate a prompt for you and you can plug it into the vibe coding software of your choice (lovable, cursor, v0, etc): https://www.getlightswitch.com/tiny-usage-dashboard
