Vibe coding in 2025 = blogging in 2005. Back then, Blogger, WordPress, and TypePad gave everyone a voice. Millions started blogs. The barrier to publishing vanished overnight. But here’s what actually happened: Most quit after 3 months. They didn’t take advantage of the incredible power long term. The winners? Seth Godin (still shipping daily, 20+ years later). Paul Graham (essays that launched a thousand startups). Maria Popova (turned curiosity into Brain Pickings). They didn’t have the best ideas every day. They were the ones who kept showing up. Now Cursor, Bolt, Lovable, and Replit are doing the same thing for software. Everyone can build. The barrier to shipping just vanished. Millions will try. Most will quit after their 1 or 3rd app. Because they may not make a ton of money yet. The winners won’t be the most technical. They’ll be the ones who treat this as a craft, not a hack. Who ship 50 projects over time, not 1. Who use the “vibe coding power” to learn and understand what users actually want. The tools democratize access. Persistence determines outcomes.

Do you actually enjoy coding or do you do it just for the money?

When I was a teen I made $ building websites, flipping products on eBay, and hacking Xboxes. Today's teen hustle is clipping, memecoin trading, and TikTok/YT/Insta influencing.

Unfortunately, the rumors are true… I can no longer hide the truth. Yes, I did use ChatGPT to write a few tweets when I first started this account. Even worse… I posted in Build in Public. I didn’t have an audience. I didn’t have confidence in my voice yet. But I knew I wanted to get better. That was the beginning of the journey — not the definition of it. Since then, every tweet has been mine. No prompts. No shortcuts. Just reps. I hope you’ll forgive me — and stick around for what comes next. Would you like a spicier or more humorous variant as well to post later as a follow-up?

Most founders think VC-backed means rich, but bootstrapping means poor. Not true. I’ve done both: VC exits are rare: most are small, and only a tiny few are big. Founders are diluted to 10%, locked for years with an earnout. Bootstrapping to $3.7M/y at 80% margin equals $3M/y in profits, which is $30M/10y. But the VC path means hoping for a big exit after years. I raised pre-seed to Series A 10+ times and stayed poor, dreaming of billions that never came. I knew 1,000+ founders, but only a few achieved life-changing exits. My profits fund whatever I want here & now, not in some imaginary future. I'm my own boss, earning money now while spending time with my family and living life on my terms. Ofc, if you wanna make a billion-dollar exit, VC path is the way to go, but idk, that's a fking lottery to me.

Every entrepreneur should read this. Because what @antonosika did is incredible. And it’s something I’ve been telling everyone for years. You don’t start a business with a product. You launch it with the idea. My number one rule of sales is: Sell the sizzle, not the steak. And you don’t need a product to do that. Anton has built the fastest-growing tech product in Europe. But do you think he launched his business with this product? No. He launched… a snake game. And a waitlist. That’s it. From that, he built hype. Gathered proof. And that gave him the green light to build the product. Which became @Lovable , an incredible platform that lets anyone build websites and apps with no code. If a billion-dollar company can launch with nothing but a waitlist, an idea, and a snake game… You can too. You can watch the full episode I recorded with Anton and copy exactly what he did to turn his dream into a billion-dollar business. Here’s the link - https:// youtu.be/Hwn_ThgWduw

Phase 3. Drop your domain in the comments My AI agent will appraise it.

Most people think vibe coding is just a trend for indie hackers and solo founders. They're missing the bigger picture. We're in Phase 1 right now. But Phase 2 is coming. And it changes everything. Software liquidation. Here's what I mean: Right now, you build an app from scratch. Even with AI, you're still starting at zero. Soon, software becomes liquid. Components you can swap. Templates you can remix. Frameworks you can stack. Logic you can plug in. Like LEGO blocks for enterprise software. Imagine building a Salesforce competitor in a weekend. Not by coding from scratch. But by combining: - Auth module from one builder - CRM logic from another - Analytics dashboard from a third - Custom workflows you prompt Each piece battle-tested. Each component proven. The implications are massive: 1/ SaaS giants become vulnerable When anyone can assemble enterprise software from proven components, why pay $100K/year for bloated platforms? 2/ Speed becomes the only moat If I can rebuild your product in 48 hours using modular components, your 5-year head start means nothing. 3/ Business logic becomes the product Not the code. Not the infrastructure. The actual workflow and process knowledge becomes what you sell. We're already seeing early signals: - Lovable lets you describe apps in plain English - Supabase gives you instant backend infrastructure - Component libraries are exploding But these are just Phase 1 tools. Phase 2 tools will let you compose entire systems. Drag in a billing system. Drop in user management. Connect enterprise workflows. Ship to production. The builders who understand this shift will own the next decade. While everyone else is still coding from scratch.

Everyone’s building something. Nobody’s marketing anything.

Tech is the only career where "I need a break" means "I'm going to code something else for fun"
