One hard thing about solo dev with ai is that ai thinks everything you suggest is a great idea, especially from a product perspective and you get no critical feedback and its easy to get lost in the sauce.

Fair point. It’ll get better. 

Though, this is why I don’t think vibe coding is the end all be all right now. There is a lot of foundational knowledge that is important to understand that makes one a better programmer.

oh but to your point about *being a dev* 

i think it's all about problem solving and understanding the best tools to use and best machines to build to solve the problem before you

totally 

i think i'm a good vibe coder, but that doesn't make me a good founder / product builder, i see them as separate skills

both require persistence, but the former is more about internal creative exploration, and the latter is more about listening and adapting to external demands
