Best comments
“Sure, you don’t need to be a programmer to build a SaaS. In the same way, you don’t need to be a doctor to perform surgery. The real question is whether you still want a professional involved when something goes seriously wrong.”
“You stated the problem in very beginning, stop using long chats. Start using agents and skills and instructions.”
“So what do they learn if they can’t explain what they deliver ?”
“I vibed 2 in the last 3 months and 1 have 30k calls a month now (pbx) and second was a quickbooks enterprise warehouse tool extension. Both in production and in high stakes environment”
