AI solved your building problem.
It made your positioning 10x worse.
• I went through a Reddit thread this week.
• Founders comparing vibe-coded apps
• The ones who make money
• vs those stuck at zero.
Same AI tools.
Same weekend builds.
Products that look almost identical.
The split had very little to do with the code.
The apps earning money had a sharp answer to one line:
↳ "Who is this for, and why would they pay today?"
The apps at $0 were built for "anyone who..."
↳ their founders hoped the product would explain itself.
It never does.
When anyone can ship in two days,
the build stops being your edge.
Positioning decides who keeps scrolling
and who pulls out happily paying.
Before you write your next prompt ↓
→ Talk to people who have the problem.
→ Ask what they pay for today without you.
→ Pick a niche small enough to name in one sentence.
→ Write the line your buyer would repeat to a colleague.
→ Charge from day one. Free users tell you what they like.
↳ Paying users tell you what works.
→ Cut every feature nobody asked for.
Your first paying customer will teach you
More than your next 50 features do.
If your app is live and still sitting at $0,
↳ send me "MVP", and I'll lead the conversation.
