Just because you can vibe code it, doesn't mean it will scale.

You are responsible for the code you write. If you are making slop, you need to maintain and be accountable for that slop. So here's an idea. Don't make slop. Take the time to use AI to superpower your mind vs. having it do it for you. UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Full stop.

If you aren't spending most of your time in planning mode while coding with AI, you are doing it wrong. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

If it was easy, it wouldn’t any fun. Embrace the problems. Say thank you for these problem. If you are reading this in warm place with a hot beverage beside you, you are doing just fine. Lean into the problems. You got this.

Massive opportuntity for @ouraring to charge me a lot more money per year. Make the assistant better and give me suggestions around workouts and let me set goals.

Invocing and collections are part of your marketing and branding stack.
If you are charging someone more than $1,000 your founders or great people neeed to control and own that experience. Don't delegate that, no matter how tempting it is.
