If I launched a SaaS tomorrow with only $100 and a claude subscription..
Here's exactly how I'd set up SEO to get my first 10 customers 🧵

PostNitro for Agents is live on Product Hunt 🚀
Your AI agent can now design carousels, image posts and videos on your brand kit, then schedule them for you.
You can even automate and have it run fully hands off.
Huge thanks to @thisiskp_ for hunting us 🙏
If this looks useful, a repost would mean a lot ♻️

We spend $20m+/year improving Todoist with some of the world's most skilled people. And we are probably much more proficient with AI than most vibe coders.
People greatly underestimate how hard it is to create truly great products. It's like food: many people can cook, but not at a Michelin level.

i'm ready to bet a ton that 99% of ppl will keep using software built by other people for at least the next 10 years. any other take is pure lunacy to me.

You guys should follow Janu!
He's full of gems and shares on a regular basis!
Most agency founders I talk to have the same secret: nobody really knows how to get clients.
@sandislonjsak said it best on our call last week: we're all swimming, and nobody knows where the shore is. Everyone is just vibing it. :D
But Sandi shared some of his sales tactics
I've heard:
→ Before expensive conferences, he messages attendees with something like: "We're both going, I'm looking for clients, no BS. Interested? Let's meet." 20-30% say yes.
→ At one US business show, he was one of the only people with printed flyers. At the end of the day, he dumped the leftovers on the cafeteria tables, and people read them over lunch like a book. :D
He shared a few more that I'm keeping to myself. 👀
Thanks for the ideas, Sandi! Let's grab that drink when you're in Cologne 🍻

Right now, we're in the "omg AI can write code and solve math problems, what a miracle" stage.
But the true Cambrian explosion will be near-instantaneous smart inference at the edge. Real autopilot for any vehicle. No spam ever again. And that's just the obvious stuff.

The most basic etiquette is turning on your camera when you are talking with someone online.
When someone doesn't turn it on it's an immediate red flag.
Very, very unprofessional.

Design engineering is a trap
It's too easy to delegate the 'thinking' part of the job to the agent and ship whatever it suggests
For a long time I've been 'designing in code' but now I'm actually designing in tools like Paper/Figma first and then going to code
This is the way

I was looking for SEO & marketing solutions.
Yesterday, I saw @JanuBuilds’ post on my feed. It caught my attention, so I decided to check out his profile.
Somehow, I was already following him 😂
I checked out Effortless Backlinks and thought I can do it by myself.
Then I went cycling for a bit.
I came back home and got dragged into an urgent work request + family stuff + other side quests
My marketing skills suck, and I don’t have enough time as well.
tldr; I submitted Starkomand to Effortless Backlinks! 🚀

> if you're starting a business, code is the least important part.
Well yeah. Try to finish the product then.
Code quality is an artifact in the context for an agent. If you give it a shitty context it'll do shitty things. techdebt piles up fast and the agent is always happy to work around existing code, not modify it.
"Use a linter, bro" - not working. It'll rip out your cyclomatic complexity into small functions and pile them up in a single file. It's painful to watch.
You're coders, man. Get your shit together and steer the agent based on code changes you approve.
1. you'll understand your software better and know what change you need next (no weird spec bingo)
2. don't nit on every little code detail, roughly go through the code, let AI explain it to you for troubling parts
3. it's fast development - avoiding tech debt is smooth sailing with only one condition: read what the agent produces
Don't sell me this "today you don't need to look at your code". If you want to rely on frontier models and want to be lazy then be my guest.
Mediocre-complex software is not vibecode'able.
Easy slop is.
i'm appalled by how solo builders are approaching agentic engineering today. i've spoken to several people over the last couple months 1:1 to get an idea for how they're building with AI.
every single one of them is vibecoding like it's january 2026. they're writing huge specs. they have a kanban board neatly organized with hundreds of todos. they're having their agents take detailed notes after every change. i'm like, what are you doing??
why are you giving it specs? why do you have a todo list??
if you're starting a business, code is the least important part. half of these people are worried about AI code quality. i'm like, what are you talking about?? why the fuck do you care about code quality??

Most people think building an AI product requires a technical background.
It does not.
It requires deep knowledge in something.
