going that much vertical is wild 🤯

We might be cooked.

An ex-optician built 3 apps that make a combined $35K/month.

The playbook:

  1. Identify people flexing their MRR on X
  2. Rebuild those apps 1% better.
  3. Analyze and copy distribution channels of larger competitors

you're a few prompts away from recreating most one-feature SaaS...

think about it:

screenshot to code
PDF summarizer
AI meeting notes
social media schedulers

these products are trending because they solve one problem fast

but come on brother... if you can prompt and understand basic product logic, you can reverse engineer almost any simple SaaS

then rebuild it with Claude Code or Cursor,...

I think we all need to be full-stack now.

AI generally, but Claude Code specifically, has made it so that if you can't go from problem to a shipped solution, you're just part of a toolchain that can/will be automated.

Only high-agency, full-stack people survive. And they pull away from everyone else.

That’s an insane change to happen over the course of like two months.

People continue to mangle the narrative on this whole Anthropic betrayal thing.

But let's start with the mistake that Anthropic actually did make (IMO).

They should have been way more clear about what you can use their Subscription model for. Like what's ok, and what isn't.

That's a fair criticism I think, and probably one they'd agree with.

But that isn't the center of this issue. The center is people not liking the options that Anthropic are offering, and confusing that with malicious beh...

🚀 Launches & Ships

which represent lines of code

that code compiles into useful software.

which can be used and sold to people at 0 marginal cost.

🧵 Threads & Deep Dives

@danshipper viral relevant thread

My favorite use case for LLMs is learning.

AI makes learning astonishingly accessible, but there are still gaps in the process. Nir Zicherman (@NirZicherman) has spent a lot of time thinking about how to close them.

Nir is the CEO and founder of @oboelabs, a platform that can make courses for you about everything from Wittgenstein’s philosophy to the history of ice cream on-demand. Previously, Nir cofounded the podcasting platform Anchor and was the VP and global head of audiobooks at @Spotify...

2025 was about "vibe coding" so you can build software with AI

2026 is about "vibe marketing" so you can earn attention, trust, and demand with AI

manus/meta moving into vibe marketing feels right on time.
