Summary

On the stigma of #vibecoding. I just pushed out an emotionally packed journal entry on my site (link ink bio) about the ragebaiting redundancies of #aislop I had a guy earlier come in and tell me all my shit was messed up, I asked him out of genuine curiosity if he’s ever made anything? Crickets then left. I met an extremely courageous Dad who built a tool for parents with kids on the autism spectrum, that is now gaining traction from the clinical side and other parents. He is just one example of so many awesome concepts that are being shaped this very second. Everyday people are building new things because of an problem, whether it be personal or professional, they have experienced. Some of them fail, but some of them soar. The point is, don’t let haters who say “AI slop” deter you from anything, they are only just comparing themselves to you and their innner conflict inside. I am so grateful for the people that have transferred so much insightful information. Your direction has been invaluable. Let’s keep building really cool shit. ✌🏻 - lord of the vibes #buildinpublic #techtok #founderstory

Man, day 28, day 28. 28 days ago, I turned this camera on and started documenting this journey. And honestly, the momentum has been fucking wild. Starting out with like pretty basic knowledge, I somehow managed to pick up clients, design an entire ecosystem of tools and actually build out ideas that have been in my head. And you know what the absolute best part of this? It's been the community. You guys, literally, TikTok. And I know, it's crazy. I've like met some of the most genuine, kind and supportive people while I do live streaming, my coding sessions, and that's what keeps me going. It's you guys. And like the knowledge transfer and all of that has helped so much, and it can help so many more people. So, I'm going to be real for a second. I'm so fucking tired of the vibe coding stigma. I'm fucking tired of it. We've been using these tools for years now, okay? And you still get these big haters coming into the comments screaming, AI slop, AI slop. And usually it's people who don't even know how to fucking read code. Usually people that don't even know what language it's in. And you know what? We're just looking for a reason to be a part, which is, you know, it's natural. It's life. But look around. There has been massive, sweeping, devastating layoffs across the entire tech industry. Not just the tech industry, the entire industry of the world. And people should be appreciating how accessible this technology makes. It's a lifeline. It allows independent founders to spin up real solutions without needing a massive enterprise budget. Now, data centers don't talk to me about that. I have no opinion on that whatsoever, other than the right one, which I'm sure you know what it is. But, the experimental spirit is exactly why I'm working on the new app called Datum. And it might be a massive problem solver, it might just be a massive raw experimental AI that will fail. Who knows? But even if it's just a sandbox, that's the entire point. It's about pushing the limits of what tech can actually do on its own, and it changes every day. So stop calling it vibe coding. You know, or, you know, fuck it. Call it vibe coding. Call it AI slop. I'm just going to keep fucking building. So, see you guys. Vibe coder out. Lord of the vibes.
