Founder Playbook

“you know coding has never really been the core limitation of getting an app done right it's the specialization and it's managing the edge cases and it's having gotten user feedback I mean if you're just vibe coding something from scratch it's not going to be very good.”
Coding was never the real bottleneck — user feedback, edge cases, and distribution are what apps are built from
Seufert reframes the vibe coding debate: the hardest parts of app development were never writing code — they were gathering user feedback, managing edge cases, and maintaining a coherent scalable codebase. Successful apps have survived because they incorporated years of iteration signals. An app built purely from founder intuition in a weekend, no matter the tool, lacks that accumulated knowledge.
