More vibe coded competitors for Pingcoin have popped up. Discovered this app today.
They look very much vibe coded, so UI/UX is still a differentiator, but I expect that to change (that's not the moat).
If an average SaaS = engineering complexity 10
Then there used to be a moat, because you needed to be an engineer to be able to create that 10.
Now anyone can vibe code a 10. So there's no moat.
Wrong.
The moat is now at 1000, and that's where @t3dotcodes is at.
so good!
There's a lesson that I keep needing to relearn during this AI boom:
Based on fleeting X posts and mentions I will *not* be able to recognize an AI product that will be of massive value to me. I need to try it to see the value.
Happened with OpenClaw, and recently T3.
Nice fresh autumn evening for a walk with the little munchkin, contemplating the ai filled week ahead.
Checking Pingcoin analytics every day now to see if all coin tests are working for userrs.
Here's today's most popular coin, the 1 oz silver american eagle.
It's working really well.
Most tests fall into a narrow region I've defined, as it should be.
Pingcoin iOS users are digging the Morgan dollar. It's the top coin being tested today. And the pass rate is super healthy at 45.5% (I struggle to reach that with other coins).
Funny, 60% of pings are being done by android users vs. 40% by iOS users, but revenue is still 90% Android based.
I think that means there's a wave of iOS users making their way through their first pings, but I'm not 100% sure.
Wiping my VPS (formerly running OpenClaw, Hermes) to now just a run a Discord bot with Claude Code subscription access.
Idea is to now build a fleet across Grok and Claude where I gradually reduce my role.

Peter Thiel might be onto something here…

FWIW I think he’s missing important dimensions like desire for human connection, empathy, shared understanding, which will be important for the future of jobs in healthcare, education, etc.
Walter Isaacson asks Peter Thiel what humans can uniquely do in the AI era.
Thiel: "We're very relational… these relational dimensions will become more important."
When knowledge is worth $0, the only career skills that matter:
- networking / social calibration
- persuasion (sales)
- curiosity (harnessing AI)
- taste (curation)
- storytelling
- grit
- golfing with clients (or equivalent)
We'll get so sick of a fake world that we'll go back to doing business like it's the 1800s. A handshake at the local saloon.
Really pleased with the Pingcoin infrastructure right now.
I receive a review from a Japanese user, who's happy with the app, but is missing the 1 Yen coin.
I add the coin literally in less than 5 minutes using the coin resonance model and reply to them.
Loving it.
I admit a year or two I had difficulty understanding how AI could get away from us and cause damage.
With Claude sometimes ignoring instructions, or using non-sensible defaults, it's become much easier to understand.
About a year ago AI assisted coding started to become powerful.
I was able to swoop into a dormant spaghetti coded side project and introduce a paywall.
My first paying customers soon followed.
Today, a year later, I got my first renewal!
We've got a little USB-C chargeable white noise device to help our newborn go to sleep.
Works really well.
Today I woke up from a delicious afternoon nap. I turn around to find the device buzzing next to me. Wifey must have put it there.

I've been cooking 🧑🍳🚀
Big update going out for Pingcoin iOS and Android today.
Big improvements to the ping detection logic and a smoother render of the realtime spectrum.
Also bringing the radial spectrum to Android as well now.

Sooo incredible. I feel like we’re reliving the early Internet all over again. But juiced 10000x
Лучшее, что я видел за последнее время — чел пилит ASCII MMORPG, в которой вся графика состоит из букв и символов.
Да, буквально весь мир, персонажи, окружение и спецэффекты нарисованы разноцветным текстом.
Автор сейчас экспериментирует с магией, визуалом и боссами. Я прям залип на то, как из нескольких десятков символов получается такая красота.
Буквально сны при температуре 37,2.
