I work at an early stage startup and I'd estimate 70-80% of our codebase is vibe coded (510k lines). To be clear, it's not 1 shot "build this feature." More like, "implement get_slim_documents for Jira in the exact same way we did it for the Confluence connector."
Comfort with AI coding tools is actually something we gauge during interviews/work trials. Looking at our peer companies, it's exactly the same.
My hypothesis/assertion is that companies founded ~2022+ are fundamentally intertwined with "vibe coding." In 5 years, programming will connote vibe coding more than it will connote non-AI assisted work.
Am I crazy? Pigeon-holed in the SF startup world? Naive? Would love to hear more thoughts/diverse perspectives on this.

I'll say it bluntly that running a business is not as easy as it is presented on the Internet. You have to come up with a good and useful idea, and even then, you don't win.

You can only see the results after a long time. Not everyone can do it for a long time. To do it, you need to have a strong motive. For some people, it may be a family tradition, for some, money.

I've recently been recommended various new tools like Warp (terminal) and Zed (IDE). They are both quite intriguing, as I expect both could help speed up my development workflow. However, actually switching to them seems to be a huge lift.
I've downloaded and explored the two apps, but the thought of figuring out which current habits can be replicated vs. which ones I should completely relearn with the new app's tools is quite daunting. As a result, I haven't re-opened them...
I think the ProductHunt community would lean on the side of more experimental and motivated to try new things. How many new products do you try? How many end up sticking? Do you also feel the obstacles I've mentioned above and what ends up pushing you over that activation energy?

To decide the price of a product at launch, I use market survey of potential buyers -- not just one or two people but a decent group size. Of course, I do a good market research too before the survey. However, getting a good group size is quite difficult and tedious.

I have heard that people use some other innovative approaches too.

What approach have you used?
