Coding agents will cut the cost of making software. They will not wipe out specialists.
The idea that every founder can now vibecode their own software and no longer needs experts is flawed. Building something and wanting to build it are different things, and most business owners do not want to become software developers. They want to run their businesses.
That means they do not want to spend their time debugging agents, checking architecture, managing infrastructure, maintaining codebases, or keeping up with an industry that changes every few months. They have customers to acquire, employees to manage, operations to run, and businesses to grow.
What coding agents do is lower the cost of producing software. They do not remove the cost of deciding what to build, building it correctly, maintaining it, and making it work reliably in the real world.
As software gets cheaper to produce, good judgment, domain expertise, and execution may matter even more. Not everyone who can build software wants to build software. And not everyone who wants software wants to build it themselves.
The future is not necessarily a world without specialists. It is a world where specialists can do much more with fewer resources.
Calling out all the SEO experts on X. What do you think the best way to find keywords to target for a particular niche ? Any tools you recommend ? I have been using google ads keyword planner for long. But it doesn’t work well for long tail. I want to discover long tail / low volume keywords in my niches.
Calling all bootstrappers.
I want to meet people building businesses without a giant team, giant office or giant burn rate.
Just : Problem → Product → Customers → Revenue.
If you're somewhere in that loop, let's connect.
Most of my bad decisions didn't look like bad decisions.
They looked logical.
They had reasons behind them.
Sometimes they even had data behind them.
That's what makes entrepreneurship humbling.
Hindsight is incredibly good at making stupidity look obvious.
Founders of X, assemble.
Looking to meet people who are currently:
🚀 Building a startup
💻 Writing code
🤖 Building with AI
📈 Finding customers
💰 Making revenue
😵 Questioning their life choices
Bonus points if you're doing all six simultaneously.
Let's connect.
Vibe coding works incredibly well until it doesn't.
The first 80% feels like magic.
The last 20% reminds you why software engineering exists.
The hardest part of building isn't having ideas.
It's killing your own ideas.
Deleting features.
Changing pricing.
Abandoning products.
Admitting the customer you imagined doesn't exist.
Good builders don't just create.
They destroy their own assumptions.
Sunk cost is one of the most dangerous emotions in building. "I've already spent six months on this."
So what?
The six months are gone.
The only question that matters is whether the next six months should go into it.
A lot of entrepreneurship is repeatedly becoming comfortable with being wrong.
Wrong idea.
Wrong customer.
Wrong pricing.
Wrong feature.
Wrong channel.
Wrong assumption.
The faster you can say "I was wrong", the less expensive the lesson becomes.
Build in public is not a strategy.
It’s a coping mechanism for having no users.
If the only people watching are other builders, you don’t have an audience. You have a support group.
I've learned to distrust my own excitement.
Some of my most exciting ideas went nowhere.
Some boring ideas turned into real businesses.
Excitement is useful for starting.
It is terrible evidence for deciding.
I've learned the hard way that killing a SaaS project is sometimes the most productive thing you can do.
I personally wasted years on a startup because I kept telling myself, "maybe one more feature, one more pivot, one more push."
The signals were already there:
No meaningful organic growth after repeated attempts.
Users try it but don't come back.
Nobody complains when you raise the price.
You keep adding features but usage doesn't change.
You can't find a repeatable way to acquire customers.
And most importantly: you're more excited about the next idea than fixing this one.
If you don't kill it, you slowly start spending your best years protecting a decision you already know was wrong.
The hardest part isn't building something.
It's knowing when to stop building it.
Hi, I’m Ady, 36, from India.
Been coding for 25+ years, since I was 10. I’ve worked on all kinds of things over the years and honestly, sometimes I feel old now 😂
Starting my solopreneur journey from scratch, building SaaS & mobile apps, experimenting, failing, learning and enjoying the process.
Looking to meet fellow builders, entrepreneurs, developers, marketers and generally interesting people here on X.
Let’s connect and build in public.

Founders often say they have a time-management problem.
I think many actually have a priority problem.
There are always 20 things you could do.
The hard part is knowing which one actually matters.
Compliments are not traction.
Payments are traction.
Usage is traction.
Retention is traction.
Everything else needs to be interpreted carefully.
Hey @X Algorithm,
Introduce me to people who are building their own products.
I want more founders, indie hackers, engineers and makers on my timeline.
Especially people working on:
SaaS
AI
Developer tools
Automation
Consumer apps
B2B software
Internet businesses
What are you building?
There is a special kind of excitement that comes with a new startup idea.
For a few days, there are no customers complaining, no churn, no bugs and no revenue problems.
Just infinite potential.
That's precisely why new ideas are dangerous.
