I started building my project when Sonnet 4 was still around. I began from absolute zero. I still can’t sit down and write a full feature from scratch by myself. But I learned how to work with AI. I learned how to structure logic, debug, understand web architecture, ship updates, fix things when they break. I’m building a full ecosystem for videographers and photographers. Not just a small tool. Not just another CRM. A real collaborative workspace for teams. And I believed in it so much that I genuinely thought I wouldn’t even need marketing. I thought if I just build something truly useful, people would see it and say “finally.” Yesterday I saw a post in a wedding videography subreddit saying: “Don’t use products built with vibe coding / AI coding. They’re buggy and unreliable.” And something inside me just dropped. I’ve put months into this. Energy. Hope. Obsession. And suddenly I’m sitting here thinking — Was I naive? Is this all just a prototype illusion? Is AI coding only good for demos and not real businesses? Be honest with me. Can you actually build a product with AI coding / live coding that: – works reliably – scales – makes money – and genuinely helps people? Or am I building on sand? I’m not looking for comfort. I’m looking for reality. submitted by /u/Whole_Connection7016
